Greetings my glorious true friends.
Today I want to show you my book gains I've made.
One of the best feels in the world.
Get into the bookshoopa, browse around, find new glorious books.
Now obviously I usually know what I'm after but it's always fun to see you know new books which have been coming in etc.
Just before I begin, I'm still this book, so almost finished with this.
Third book in the King Arthur trilogy by MK Hume.
Can really recommend it.
I thought about making a separate book recommendation regarding this but I'm making it now instead.
Very solid books.
Gives that a semi-grimdark feel to it and a good connection with the Britain that was a bit more Roman-esque in its influence.
So none of that high fancy stuff.
So since I was in the late Roman era culture stack I thought read this and great books.
Definitely can recommend them.
And then secondly I thought about switching to a Greek like a Hellenic culture stack in the coming days.
So I choose the fourth installment of this series.
The first book is called Killer of Men regarding a Greek hero that goes around killing people basically.
Really solid books.
They fight against the Persians but the book is really nuanced so that the Persians are they are the enemy but they aren't all cruel like in 300.
Now obviously I like 300, I love the film but it's a bit black and white for my taste.
So this portrays the persons much better.
And obviously it's Christian Cameron that also wrote Alexander God of War.
Thirdly a new series by our main man Harry Sidebottom obviously a historian that wrote another very solid series about an angle guy called Marcus Ballista who fought for the Romans.
So that series is really good and since it was so good I insta-bought this, like the first installment of a new series.
So I look forward to that very much and I have high hopes.
Next we have a The Curse of Babylon.
Now this was actually on special offer.
You got like the fourth book for free so I choose this because I read the first of those books so I'm actually gonna have to read one, two, three books before I delve into this but I have that on on hold per se.
And it's also in the late Roman era.
615 AD Fucking massive.
Admire my shoulders there.
And the beard of glory grants me wisdom.
And obviously how about some glorious book games in the Horus Heresy.
So yeah, two books after each other.
I read Legion a few weeks back.
Really solid book.
Can definitely recommend that as well.
So I'm gonna read those.
I don't know when, but they're quite fast to read.
They're not that thick and very interesting so they tend to get read out quite easily.
So yeah, that's my little book gains for this month.
I hope you have gotten some inspiration to read a bit more yourself.
And obviously, as I might have mentioned before, I read either in the sun, best fucking thing in the world, or before I go to sleep.
So it's more of a routine, it's not like I sit and read all day, it's basically just half an hour before bed or as long as the sun is up if I'm not doing anything else.
It's like sunbathing with a book.
Anywho, am I?
I'm the lion of wisdom.
X-Rayxo.
