The one book that I absolutely cannot wait to get my pretty little hands on this week is:
The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer: Three thousand years ago, a god told a lie. Now, only a goddess can tell the truth. Persephone has everything a daughter of Zeus could want--except for freedom. She lives on the green earth with her controlling mother, Demeter, growing up beneath the ever-watchful eyes of the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice. Zeus calls Hades "lord" of the dead as a joke. In truth, Hades is the goddess of the underworld, and no friend of Zeus. She offers Persephone sanctuary in her land of the dead, so the young goddess may escape her Olympian destiny. But Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. She finds love, and herself. The Dark Wife is a lesbian revisionist retelling of the Persephone and Hades myth.If, like me, you can't wait to get your hands on this one, pop on over to Sarah's site, check out her blog, or look her up on Goodreads.

Looks like a historical marvel. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am waiting on Chronicles of Nick: Invincible. Not so much the book but the time to read it. In my mind I was telling myself to hurry up and finish the book I am currently reading. I had to yell at myself because the book that is being read deserves my attention as well.
