Welcome to Litsy!

Fascinating. Makes me want to read more about archaeology and ancient Egypt.

On my TBR list -I've read other books by this author and thoroughly enjoyed.

Today I found out that Jan Assmann is dead. 😭😭😭 He was a well-known German egyptologist and was famous for his cultural theories.
Once I had the chance to see one of his lectures at the Egyptian Museum in Leipzig and got his autograph. Back then I wanted to tell him that I‘ve read most if his books and that he is very important for me, but the only thing I was able to say (quivering in front of this authority) was: „For Maria, please“.

“What in Seth's damnable balls was he thinking?“

Well, that does it for me.
FULL REVIEW: http://abookandateacup.blogspot.com.ar/2018/05/review-asenath_25.html

In the category of wild back stories, this pantheon is giving the Greek Olympians a run for their money.
Ancient gods are not known for their decorum, so I can't really blame the 'stereotypical juvenile dick/fart joke' type humour entirely on the author. He does manage to make some dizzying lore into a cohesive multi-chapter tale, and the somewhat sentimental ending worked for me.
It's silly and colourful and really not for younger audiences.

You tell 'em, Osiris. 🤭

I love these, will definitely manage all 4! Thanks for this interesting ( and really useful to #readyourkindle) reading challenge, @CBee!!

My “currently reading” stack (and I‘m loving them all).

My last book of 2023 was Lucy Worsley‘s enjoyable middle grade novel about Jane Austen‘s nieces. I‘ve been feeling a little Egypt-ish of late so I‘m going to dive into the tagged book that‘s been on my TBR for several years now. I‘m trying to start the new year off by continuing to whittle down the backlog of books on my shelves… let‘s see how long that lasts! 😆

Thanks for doing this again, @BookNAround ! Happy New Year, everyone! 🎉
