The Heretic Queen: A Novel | Michelle Moran

Picked this one for my #bookedkntime and really enjoyed. Whilst there are some quite chunky assumptions made that put it firmly in the fiction bucket it was also very interesting and grounded in well researched detaill and the characters and political intrigue intriguing! 📸 a thebian temple

I enjoyed this audio book imagining what happened to the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra after their deaths. I did find my mind wondering a bit as I listened and it‘s the beginning of a trilogy that I‘m not sure I will continue. 3.5 🌟

The Moon in the Cloud | Rosemary Harris

Someone mentioned their favorite book with “moon“ in the title, which made me think of mine. I feel so lucky my childhood library had this somewhat obscure series! (My own copy has no bookcover, so I found this one online.)

LeahBergen I only heard about this book a little while ago! I must hunt down a copy if it‘s a favourite of yours. 1mo

willaful @LeahBergen I had to special order my copies from England! But that was a very long time ago and it might be more available now. P.S. I'm very flattered. 😊 (edited) 1mo

Karisimo I‘ve had this one on my TBR forever! Maybe now is the time! I just read Maria by this same author.

Nefertiti: A Novel

2mo

Jess861 Oh I'm definitely going to try and find the time to jump in on this one!! Such an interesting topic and Era! 2mo

julieclair Love this choice! 2mo

Deblovestoread Love this time period. Nefertiti was a good read. Need to see what‘s on my shelf. 2mo

Deblovestoread @Cuilin Is there an October prompt? I must have missed it. 2mo

rwmg Are we counting the Ptolemies and especially Cleopatra VII? 332 BCE would be Alexander the Great\'s conquest of Egypt while Cleopatra VII died in 31 BCE. We don\'t know when Cleopatra Selene, Cleopatra\'s daughter of the tagged book, died but most likely the decade before or after 1 BCE 2mo

Cuilin @rwmg Yes, absolutely. I have one book about Alexander and one on Cleopatra not sure which one I will read, but they all count. 2mo

Cuilin @Deblovestoread so sorry, apparently I forgot to post October‘s prompt. 🤦‍♀️ I thought I did that back in May/June when I posted a few few months in a row, my bad. I guess October is a pick your own. 2mo

Cuilin @julieclair yay!! 2mo

Cuilin @Jess861 thanks, I like this one too. 2mo

Cuilin @Karisimo yes, looks promising 2mo

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads fabulous, I have a few ideas but haven‘t decided yet. 2mo

Mollyanna Yay! So excited. 😀. I have quite a few to choose from, but I‘ll probably start with

The Anubis Slayings

2mo

Cuilin @Mollyanna A murder mystery in ancient Egypt? Sounds fantastic. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau Cool! The pictured suggestions look really good! 2mo

Cuilin @TheBookgeekFrau Now which one to choose. 🤔 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @Cuilin 😂😂 Right?! 2mo

julieclair I think a witch trial book will be fun for October, so I will be reading one about the Pendle Witch Trials,

The Daylight Gate

2mo

Cuilin @julieclair sounds fabulous 2mo

Itchyfeetreader I read the Margaret George years ago and loved it. Will it be a reread or something different?! I appreciate the black for October I really want to clear something off my physical pile and am sure there will be options in there ! 2mo

Cuilin @Itchyfeetreader my daughter loved that book too. It‘s been on my TBR for years. 2mo

Karisimo @Cuilin what is the time period for December? 1w

Cuilin @Karisimo thank you for reminding me. I will post it today and tag you. 🙏 1w
