Next up: Divine Might by Natalie Haynes. Her take on the Greek Goddesses.

I seem to have been a bit remiss in updating during June!
Divine Might was more a catalogue of goddesses than stories about goddesses, although there were some anecdotes along the way. Not as good for me as
A Thousand Ships.
Nine Princes in Amber and
The Guns of Avalon by Roger Zelazny, the first two books in his Amber series. Very good, as expected.
The Book of Love by Kelly Link. It was quite a fun book involving magic in various forms. I'm not sure it was a good purchase.
Still Life by Sarah Winman. A rather standard 'events in the life of' sort of book. Not an author I intend reading again.
Chess with a Dragon by David Gerrold was another impulse purchase, but was worth-while. Even though I think the novella could have done with a little tweaking.
Sign of the Unicorn by Roger Zelazny, the third Amber book was very good.
Tai-Pan by James Clavell looks at the founding of Hong Kong as a british colony, and was excellent.
A Fatal Flying Affair and
Rotten to the Core by T. E. Kinsey are the 7th and 8th in his Lady Hardcastle series, and were the expected cozy murder mysteries.
Which brings me up to date!
