Andrew65 @Librarybelle It‘s definitely that! 2y

FromMyLectory Ooh the book is really a 3D experience of life in Egypt! Every time I paused reading, I had to recalibrate my brain and remind myself what year I'm in 😅 2y

I started reading this book a while ago, but just never really finished it.
After being struck by depression late 2021 I just found it so difficult to read...well..anything.

The fact that Wilbur Smith died relatively recently too upset me.

I've been meaning to read the series for years but kept putting it off.

RIP Wilbur Smith, I've finally started your Egypt series, and I love what I've read so far.

Aylandra Recent update. Having gone over the book again, my opinion of it had soured a bit. Most of it is fine, but towards the end I'll admit I just didn't enjoy it as much. Therefore I've updated my rating from pick to so-so. 1y

For any of you considering #readingafrica2022 (l👀king at you, @squirrelbrain ! 🤣) this would obviouly work for #Egypt! @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Egypt is one of the few African countries I do have books from on my shelves.. it's really going to be a challenge! 3y

jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB LibraryThing is a life-saver for this sort of challenge. Their 'common knowledge' page (found either under the homepage & statistics, or by setting your library page to include pages from the settings)! You can import all your books from Goodreads if you don't already have a LibraryThing account too! 3y

squirrelbrain Thanks for the tag…. Although I haven‘t decided yet if I‘ll do #readingafrica2022…😁 3y

jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain lol! You were the only UK litten I could remember who has done all the others! 🤣🤣🤣 3y

Librarybelle Thanks for posting! 3y

Thank you for the invite to the game @Josee.a.lu.lit.et.lira

1) Lostris from Queen of Egypt from the Egypt series by Wilbur Smith
2) My own puppy is named Cersei from Games of Thrones

Do you want to join the game @perfectsinner and @Texreader

#Two4Tuesday

Nute At first I was thinking it doesn‘t get cooler than Lostris, and then I saw the name Cersei. Oh my! Like them both! 4y

TheSpineView Great names! Thanks for playing! ❤ 4y

Yoricke_SouthAfrica @Nute Ah, thank you. Lostris is one of my all-time favourite book characters. And then, Cersei, she is fierce. Both are Queens. 4y

Yoricke_SouthAfrica @TheSpineView Such a fun game 💜😊 4y

perfectsinner Yes! Two cats I named Charlie (The Perks of Being A Wallflower) & Holden (The Catcher in the Rye) 4y

Yoricke_SouthAfrica @perfectsinner I love both those names, and I looove cats. My cat was named Satchi (sadly I lost him last year). 4y

perfectsinner @Yoricke_SouthAfrica I'm sorry for your loss. 💔 I lost my best baby girl two years ago, and I miss her every day. 4y

This was probably my fourth or fifth reading of this book. I found it a little harder going this time around. I‘m not sure why. Perhaps the circumstances we all find ourselves in is not conducive to my reading concentration abilities. I will have to be more careful about what I read so I don‘t accidentally mess up my perceptions of a book I would usually love. Otherwise, still a great story with interesting characters and world building.

I read this book when I was about 12/13 and completely enamoured with ancient Egypt. I fell in love with the characters. It‘s the only Wilbur Smith book I have ever read and the best one I could have chosen to read!

Never read anything by Wilbur Smith. This is an ambitious one. Not sure what I'm getting into.

Vansa They're very easy read , fast paced thrillers. Quite fun ! 6y

I don't have a high opinion of Wilbur Smith. In fact this is the only book of his which is a pick for me. Taita is just one of those characters you fall in love with and he does a great job bringing ancient Egypt life. A great balance of action and romance, this is excellent escapism. Just don't bother with the sequel's they are terrible. Adult Content.
