The Anubis Gates | 
Casey loves a good dissolute lounge in the morning, and I‘m loving this book so far. It‘s packed full of STYLE from a bunch of different angles, with the kind of clear, punchy prose that practically reads itself. I‘m hoping for more time with it tonight.
1. Forward probably. There are too many inherent dangers of traveling back into history.
2. Tagged. It's a twisty tale, blending history, time travel and the occult.

pickI will readily admit that historic time settings are hit or miss with me so to have this book regarding time travel deal with a predominantly historic time period was a little bit of work for me. I found it a bit humorous and definitely one example of how white men fail up. The humor comes from watching someone from the 1980s try to survive in the 1800s was funny though some of the plot was a bit predictable.

Still plugging along with The Anubis Gates. At least I have some good company because the girls are hanging out with me.

It‘s always jarring when I see the school I did undergrad at come up in books or movies because I don‘t feel like it‘s that well known.
Waiting for my mom at her recheck appointment so I‘m getting a bit of reading done.
Listening to the Anubis Gates with my son. It's odd to have his introduction to Romantic poetry be an adventure involving, among other things, time travelers at a lecture by Coleridge and a magical clone of Lord Byron brainwashed to kill the king!
I'm excited about my #CalibreRoulette picks this month. Both are from the SFFBC group on Goodreads shelf. These plus the #BookSpin selections are my must reads for the month.

For #30junebooks, my #underrated ones are anything by Tim Powers or James Blaylock. They have a similar style (and are friends IRL I think?), which some consider a precursor to the #steampunk genre as it exists now. Many of their older books are out of print, so I always check for copies when I'm shopping! Tagged book is in my top 5 faves of all time, I have given away at least 2 copies of it!

What do you do when you're 80% into a book and you don't care about what happens to the main character because he always seems to be fine no matter what weird stuff is thrown at it? I'm forcing myself to finish it to be able to read something else. Also there are rules to time-travel and if some incohérences are not resolved I'll be one unhappy reader!
Egyptian gods , london, poets, clowns... Time travel #vendredilecture
This is my favourite #timetravel book, although I haven't read that many. I guess this one is not for everyone, but I loved all of its weirdness: there's body-swapping, a gang of murderous beggars lead by an evil clown/magician, Lord Byron (and other poets), Egyptian gods, horrible medical experiments... all in a mix of historical fiction with fantasy and a touch of sci-fi. Good times! #SizzlinSummerBooks
BOOK MAIL 📚📚📚 one for me for fun and one for my course :) The Anubis Gates was also one I was considering for #litsyaroundtheworld but I've decided on a different book now so this one is for keeps! can't wait to read it alongside all Stephen King's tips on writing 🤓🤓
pickI bought this audiobook as a daily deal, and I really had no idea what I was getting. This book has time travel, Coleridge, a scary clown on stilts, magic, monsters, Egyptian gods, Lord Byron, England in the 17th and 19th centuries, and a bit of poetry, among many other things. So weird, but very entertaining. Bronson Pinchot narrates, and did a wonderful job. Glad I didn't judge by the cover... I love a nice surprise! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I spend all morning at work looking forward to my lunchtime walk/jog... Listening to my current audiobook and enjoying the not-so-stiflingly-hot weather and pretty trails. 🏃🏻🎧
This audiobook is really nothing like I thought it would be from the description. Very interesting and fun. Another daily deal on Audible from a while back that I had never even heard of before. Good stuff!
Starting this on audio on my morning commute. Narrated by Bronson Pinchot. 😳
pickJust revisited this book. Yes some of the criticism leveled at this book is true, the writing style may not be to everyone's taste and it is a fantasy a bonkers time travel fantasy, but frankly I still loved it, Egyptian magicians, crazy industrialist, body swapping, romantic poets and the most well done closed loop time travel scenarios, I have read. Powers ability to mold fantasy into historical settings is brilliant.
bailedBailed after 4 minutes. Sometimes the audible daily deals are on special for a reason. 😝 #24in48
Audible has been getting a lot of my money lately with their daily deals. 😳 I couldn't pass this one up for $5.95, but at least I will have a month or so where I won't worry about running out of credits.
In case you missed it - the Anubis Gate by Tim Powers is the Audible Daily Deal - one of the best time travel stories I have ever read with ancient Egyptian sorcerers, Byron, body stealers and a befuddled Coleridge biographer. For the price this is a great buy.
