Black Ships Before Troy by Rosemary Sutcliff

Apologies that I did not post last week. I had no power which equals no wifi which equals no post. So recently I've been reading Black Ships Before Troy which is a retelling of the Iliad.
It's amazing. I really love Greek mythology so I thought why don't I read it and I loved it. It's a really short book so its a quick and good read.
When Helen was abducted by the Trojan prince, Paris, it triggered a war. The war lasts 10 long years and both gods and mortals fight in it. Many heroes are born and many also die. Witness all the drama and plights of heroes in this book.
It's just amazing so read it!!!!!

Quarantine by Lex Thomas

SO, I recently went to a used book sale and bought the book Quarantine and I read it and it was AMAZING!!!!!! In the beginning, when I first saw the book I was like 'this book will be horrible but oh well' but the thing is I was wrong. I could not put the book down. David was just going to high school like any other day. Then there was an explosion. When he tried to help his teacher his teacher died. Just like that. Next thing he knows, all of the teachers are dead and the students can't leave the building. If you want to find out more, read the book! May I just say again how amazing it was and also say there are twists in it that you don't expect.

The Spy by Paulo Coelho

So recently I read the book The Spy by Paulo Coelho. It was really good and I enjoyed it. The book is about Mata Hari and her life. It's written in a very interesting way through her final letter. The book is very short- about 180ish pages- but it's still good. If you are looking for a short novel that is historical fiction than The Spy by Paulo Coelho is for you!

The book is science fiction and about a clone. The clone's name is Matt. He is the clone of the famous drug lord El Patrôn. Now if you want to find out more about Matt and his journey through life you must read the book!
