I absolutely loved this series. In this 3rd installment we journey to ancient Rome where Cleopatra's twin children are taken after her death. A fascinating story, told from Selene's perspective.

The third book in the Egyptian Royal Series

Finished my #doublespin just in time! I‘ve had this book for years, and only just now sat down and read it—and I really liked it! I felt that Selene‘s voice was far too mature for a girl of her age, but the story was good.

From the tragic fall of Cleopatra‘s Alexandria to the treacherous hills of imperial Rome, Michelle Moran spins a captivating tale of the daughter of Egypt‘s most famous queen, a princess whose courageous determination to survive is as exciting and dramatic as the time in which she lived.

This week in books that are #unreadandontheshelf

I‘ve read very little about Cleopatra but ever since first learning about Egypt she has been one of my favorite people and I need to learn more.

Really enjoyed this historical fiction read. Loved finding out what happened to Cleopatra's only surviving child while seeing an insight to Ancient Roman culture.

A perfect bookmark to go with the book I‘m currently reading!
And my favorite flavor of tea and hand-colored postcard, which I plan to hang in my office to make me happy and think of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Thank you so much, @Velvetfur ! Your kindness overwhemed me!

#TBRtemptation post 3! So this is the story about the time Genghis Khan's eldest daughter met Joan of Arc and the craziness that ensued. ......j/k 😜. Selene's legendary parents are dead, and she gets carted off to Rome in chains alongside her twin brother, Alexander. There they are kept under tight watch by the Emperor and must learn to acclimate to Rome and its ways. Her artistry keeps her valuable, but for how long? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Another #awesome #historicalfiction by #MichelleMoran! After the death of their legendary parents, #Cleopatra and #MarkAntony, Selene and her twin brother were brought to the city of Rome. Here, they must quickly learn to adapt to the Roman culture, and learn how to be useful to #Caesar to ensure their survival. #ancientEgypt #ancientRome #ancienthistory

The other book I finished was "This is not my train" ? which I read like 30x. Haha

Just finished Cleopatra's Daughter for our #bookclub. I can't wait to discuss this with the others.

I've always loved reading about Cleopatra. Reading about her daughter was a first for me. After reading this book, I want to read more about her and her life! The portrayal of Cleopatra Selene was everything I'd imagine the daughter of Cleopatra would be.

Book describes her life in Rome from her perspective...with a happy ending. 💚

Kid has dance and she's letting me read instead of watch tonight! Thank goodness cause I'm Sooooo close to finishing this book!

Kiddo wanted to play outside so I'm reading in her play set on this lovely, chill fall day. 😊

Anyone else use a book to carry important documents? Mines carried dr appt cards, dr notes, and prescriptions in the last week. It's like a trusted assistant. And since I love my books so much it's probably the safest place for it...unless I misplace my book. But that almost never happens. 😉

Little mister stole my book! I guess he wanted to read it too. Though he's a much faster reader than I. He said "the end" in a matter of minutes. He said it was a good book.

Toddler is napping, hubs & daughter are out, time for a good book while the dishwasher, dryer, & wash machine do their thing!

I always bring a book with me everywhere I go. You never know when you may have to wait.

This time I'm waiting for my daughter to get out of school. 😊

I was debating what to read next. I want to continue the Fringe novels but not liking the first one has me a little scars I might not like the other two. And I need something that'll reach out and grab me to get me out of this slump. Got through book 1 by shear will! So this is the one I chose and after I will come back to the Fringe novels. 😊

About halfway through this book it was just a so-so read for me. I stuck with it and the last half paid off. I enjoyed the history and the story of Selene and Alexander. Of course, I also liked the author's notes at the end of the book. Now I find myself wanting to re-watch the TV series Rome and finally watch Spartacus. 🏛

My newest book purchase! 😍

After reading Cleopatra's Shadows I wanted more ancient historical fiction of the Greek/Roman/Egyptian persuasion. Actually, it's kinda hard to find browsing bookshelves. They really need to make historical fiction its own section! Who's with me?!?!?

Anyways, can't wait to read it!!!

Love this book. The history of Kleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios is fascinating and it's told with such a great narrative.

So excited to be reading this again! The wonderful story and writing takes me out of my grueling commute and transports me to Ancient Egypt and Rome!
