Hey there, I have finally found the time to update my site! Head on over there to see 5 new reviews and an updated book list! Here are previews of the new reviews:

-------------------------

"Gladiatrix" by Russell Whitfield
Rating: **** (4 out of 5 stars)

It was a well written, enjoyable, and entertaining read about Ancient Rome, inspired by my favourite book "The Light Bearer" (which Whitfield alludes to briefly in the book). ...read more.

"Skeletons at the Feast" by Chris Bohjalian

Rating: ***** (5 out of 5 stars)

This was a really great book. Bohjalian does a great job of creating these fictional characters and how they may have viewed the war based on real accounts. ...read more.

"Cleopatra's Daughter" by Michelle Moran
Rating: ***** (5 out of 5 stars)

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to get a glimpse of how Selene may have coped with losing her parents, her kingdom, and moving to a new world. ...read more.

"Romanitas" by Sophia McDougall

Rating: *** (3 out of 5 stars)

"Gods Behaving Badly" by Marie Phillips
Rating: **** (4 out of 5 stars)


This was a highly entertaining book. It was sometimes silly, funny, and even sad. If you like Greek mythology then you might enjoy reading this novel. ...read more.

Until next time,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
