Divine Misfortune
Divine Misfortune | A. Lee Martinez
8 posts | 17 read | 6 to read
Teri and Phil had never needed their own personal god. But when Phil is passed up for a promotion - again - it's time to take matters into their own hands. And look online. Choosing a god isn't as simple as you would think. There are too many choices; and they often have very hefty prices for their eternal devotion: blood, money, sacrifices, and vows of chastity. But then they find Luka, raccoon god of prosperity. All he wants is a small cut of their good fortune. Oh - and to crash on their couch for a few days. DIVINE MISFORTUNE is a story of gods and mortals - in worship, in love, and at parties.

Another book that is not going to win awards for stellar writing, plot, or characters, this is farcical and bizarre. However, it‘s exactly the light escapism I need this week and made me chuckle a few times, so for that, it gets a pick.

IndyHannaJones Is this the one with the Raccoon god? 5y
IndyHannaJones I like A Lee Martinez a lot...he's so goofy. 5y
DGRachel @IndyHannaJones Yes! This is the one with the raccoon god, Lucky. Goofy is a good way of putting it and sometimes you just need goofy. 😁 5y
MeganAnn I got a copy of this book as a gift a few years ago and it‘s still sitting on my shelf waiting to be read because I wasn‘t sure about the weird. Maybe I‘ll have to read it next time I need a laugh?! 🤷‍♀️ 5y

I have to work tomorrow & have work being done at the house, which means Saturday will be spent putting things back where they belong after the contractors leave, and Sunday I have tickets to see Opera Carolina‘s performance of MacBeth, but I‘m hoping to get some reading done for #litsypartyofone #24b4Monday #mrbook1inamillion, including finishing the tagged audiobook.

Lynnsoprano My philosophy is, I get done what I get done. I had agreed to spend part of tomorrow with choral students at a local school before we set up this weekend‘s activities. 5y
Andrew65 Loved Endurance and Gallow‘s Thief. Enjoy whatever Reading you get in this weekend. 5y
Crazeedi @Lynnsoprano that's what I say. I'm going to try to do the best I can! 5y

DGRachel @Andrew65 You‘re no help! That group of 5 audiobooks are the ones I‘m trying to decide between. I‘ll only get to one, but I don‘t know which one to pick! 😆 5y
Andrew65 @DGRachel Gallow‘s Thief! 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi That‘s all any of us can do. I like to have a strategy and a target as keeps me motivated and on task. @Lynnsoprano (edited) 5y
DGRachel @Andrew65 My hero! 😘😆 Gallow‘s Thief it shall be. I have an hour left of Divine Misfortune and the. I‘ll start Gallows‘s Thief. 😍 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 I hear you, any time I've tried that I end up picking some other book that catches my eye, so I'm going to wing it. I'll post a pick of possibles and we will see 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi I never stick fully to mine. I bet I Read at least one book that isn‘t on my stack! 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 let the party begin! 5y
MrBook Life and its fullness, right?! 🤗 (edited) 5y
DGRachel @jb72 @MrBook I‘m looking forward to having a new front door and new windows in my house. However, not nearly as much as I‘m looking forward to Verdi‘s Macbeth. 🤩 5y
MrBook 😎🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 5y

What kind of idiot points a gun at the one person in the room he doesn‘t want to shoot? You shouldn‘t need a class for that.

Not as good as Gil's All Fright Diner...but still a pretty good read.

For #weirdbooks I decided to go with this one. It was a gift from someone who said it was really good, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, although the description is very intriguing. I mean, raccoon god of prosperity?! 😳 Has anyone read this? Should I move it up my tbr list? #somethingforsept

BookBoggart I love A. Lee Martinez! I started with Gil's all fright diner followed by monster and then Helen and Troy's Epic Road quest. Adored each one for it's wacky goodness. I started this one but hadn't finished it. Personally I will once I have all my books with me again. Either way he's good stuff if you can't quite get into this one. Highly recommend any of the 3 I mentioned he has various more out there! Happy reading :) 8y

Finito with my bibliopicks for June!

#DivineMisfortune tackles what life would be like if one can subscribe to any god from ancient mythologies ala food delivery, to cater to your whims and wishes.

#AuntErma'sCopeBook delivers the usual hilarity and test in sanity suburban moms go through.
