Blog Stalking Sunday

I was blog stalking and came across the blog of Marie Phillips. For those of you that are unfamiliar with her work, she is the author of "Gods Behaving Badly" - a fabulous book that really is a breath of fresh air.


It's also one of my all time favourite books and I'm eagerly awaiting her next masterpiece...

Synopsis: Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a dilapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker), Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out...Until a meek cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. "Gods Behaving Badly" is that rare thing, a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.

Buy the book from Kalahari - you won't regret it!

OH, and Marie's Blog is called The Woman Who Talked Too Much
