Book that will blow your mind: Gods Behaving Badly



Happy Tuesday and the last day of work for me before a LONG Thanksgiving break. I have two days of early morning shopping ahead of me (Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday) and I am excited to be knocking old ladies over for $15 Blu Rays and other not as good as last year deals.

Today another literary Blow Your Mind - on from the UK Gods Behaving Badly by Michelle Phillips. I love Greek Mythology and the book is about what would happen if the Greek gods were still alive and living together in an old London flat. They are losing their powers and just barely get by.

The book also tells the story about two mortals who cross the god's path and have to deal with the consequences. These two Alice and Neil really make the book for me - I was impressed that I wanted to hear more about them than Apollo or Aphrodite.

Phillips is a blogger in the UK and Gods is her first novel - I loved it and look forward to what she writes for us in the future. If you are a fan of the Greek myths like I am it is a great quick read - check it out.
