5 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Elegant . . . Spare, polished . . . Smith fluidly weaves in contemporary vignettes. Publishers Weekly The latest addition to the Myths series from Canongate, now available in paperback, is a beguiling tale from the beloved author of the best-selling No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Angus is one of the earliest Celtic deities and one of the most cherished to this day. Like an even more handsome combination of Apollo and Eros, he is the god of love, youth, and beauty. Just the sight of him has made people fall in love, and he has the power to reveal a persons true love in a dream, if asked politely. Alexander McCall Smith has turned his renowned storytelling talents to crafting irresistible stories from this ancient myth. Five exquisite contemporary fables of love lost and found unfold alongside Anguss search for the beautiful Caer, the swan maiden he met in his dreams. McCall Smith unites reality and dreams, today and the ancient past, mesmerizingly, leaving the reader to wonder: what is life but the pursuit of dreams?

We adopted a rescue pup...Angus! He's full of snuggles, kisses and puppy energy. It's been a LONG time since we've had puppy energy in the house! I'm going to get a ton of audiobooks logged with our many long walks!

Packing for Thanksgiving in a cabin in the mountains with my family! Another book or two might sneak in as well... Plus I have books for research... ?

Luckily my family all loves to read!! We have "reading parties" where we all sit around with soft jazz playing and read our own books!

Not sure I'll have cell reception, but I'll be back around by Sunday at least! Happy Thanksgiving, Littens!

Stacy84 Those "reading parties" sound cool! Great way to bond. 8y
LindsayReads That sounds utterly delightful! So jealous! 8y
readinginthedark That sounds amazing! 8y
Amandajoy That sounds lovely. My family will watch football all day & then give me a hard time when I pull out my book. 8y

Mehso-so

The writing was good but just did not captivate me.
