Welcome to Litsy!

Extremely disappointed in this book. It doesn‘t have any real adventure a la Indiana Jones until the last couple of chapters and is just plain boring.
Corrie is brought in as the expert on a dig by Ford, who she blames for her career being slower than she wants. A bunch of whinny dialog and sex happen and then a tiny bit of adventure to secure their big archeological find.
1/5 stars. I‘m really mad that I bought this

Okay, gotta get back into the swing of Litsy things… (although honestly, a pox on moving)

1) I have moved 8 times in the last ten years, almost all of them intercontinentally and most with pets…and I could not be more over it (although if you need moving pointers, I‘m your gal!). Most recently was 8 months ago & this one had better stick for a bit.

2. Agatha Christie‘s memoir of her expat life is one of my all time favourites

My previous read reminded me that I still had this memoir on my shelves. Agatha Christie writes of the time spent with her archaeologist husband on digs in Iraq and Syria in the years before WWII. It‘s incredibly witty!

See, @Tamra ? I‘m really trying to #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks. 😆

Well, I‘m finally getting around to reading this book, about an archaeological expedition to Tell El- Amarna in the 1930s, and it‘s wonderful!

I had a newer paperback edition, and then I found this vintage edition, and I‘ve just recently found and bought ANOTHER book by this author. The bookish fates were telling me it was definitely time. 😆

Read in January. (Last one!)

As a lover of The Mummy and other adventure rom-coms, I thought this would be my catnip. Alas, that wasn‘t the case. Even though the characters are on a dig in the jungles of Mexico, the story lacks the thrilling adventure I expected. I‘m also not sure I loved the male lead, Ford. Physically, he was fine, but I‘m not sure about the rest of the package.

Such a pretty cover though.

I was a bit disappointed this book wasn't more about the bone chests of the title (a set of chests full of bones of kings, queens and bishops from early in England's history), and was more a general Anglo-Saxon history. As the latter, it's fine, just... I felt like it was a bit of a bait-and-switch.

I'm continuing with my theme of doing as badly as it is physically possible to do at actually getting a bingo for #BookSpinBingo...

It‘s been a while since I bought a book and then that same day, sat there and read it. This book was great! An archeologist gets invited to a secret dig and finds out it‘s her “enemy” from grad school.

Enemies to lovers, second chance romance. Set in the jungles of Mexico. Perfect if you want a female Indiana jones or are interested in a bit of archeology.

Pitts digs into ten sites across Britain (which honestly involves a lot more than ten discoveries, since some sites tell us a lot), picking out some of the interesting finds and suggesting their implications. There's some photos/illustrations, both in black and white print and in the full-colour inserts. Little slow at times, since the information needs digestion!

As unbelievable as it is, I don‘t think I‘ve ever read a bar/brewery before. Just bought this book today from #wordonthestreet bookstore
