The Golden One - Epic Book Gains

In this episode I talk about my book recommendations for the month of January and give you a quick run down of my favourite books to read this month. I hope you get some inspiration to do the same and get some ideas for what to read next!

00:00:00.000 Greetings my glorious true friends. Today I want to show you my book games I've made.

00:00:15.600 One of the best feels in the world, get into the book chupa, browse around, find new glorious books.

00:00:21.840 Now obviously I usually know what I'm after but it's always fun to see you know new books which

00:00:27.840 have been coming in etc. Just before I begin I'm still this book and so almost finished with this.

00:00:36.160 Third book in the King Arthur trilogy by M.K. Hume. I can really recommend it. I thought about making

00:00:42.480 a separate book recommendation regarding this but I'm making it now instead. Very solid books.

00:00:49.040 Gives that a semi-grim dark feel to it and a good connection with Britain that was a bit more

00:00:57.680 Romanesque in its influence so none of that high fantasy stuff. So since I was in the

00:01:05.680 late Roman era culture stack I thought read this and great books definitely definitely can recommend

00:01:11.120 them. And then secondly I thought about switching to a Greek like a Hellenic culture stack in the

00:01:17.120 coming days so I choose the fourth installment of this series. The first book is called Killer of Men

00:01:27.680 regarding a Greek hero that goes around killing people basically. Really solid books they fight 0.96

00:01:33.200 against the Persians but the book is really nuanced so that the Persians are they are the enemy but

00:01:39.520 they aren't all cruel like in 300. Now obviously I like 300 I love that film but it's a bit black and 0.96

00:01:46.160 white for my taste so this portrays the Persians much better. And obviously it's Christian Cameron that

00:01:52.640 also wrote Alexander the God of War. Thirdly a new series by our main man Harry Sidebottom obviously a

00:01:59.920 historian that wrote another very solid series about an angle guy called Marcus Ballista who fought for

00:02:09.840 the Romans and so that series is really good and since it was so good I insta-bought this like the

00:02:16.720 the first installment of a new series so I look forward to that very much and I have high hopes.

00:02:22.560 Next we have a Curse of Babylon. Now this was actually on special offer you got like the fourth

00:02:28.160 book for free so I choose this and because I read the first of those books so I'm actually gonna have

00:02:34.800 to read one two three books before I delve into this but I have that on on hold per se. And it's also

00:02:41.360 in the late roman era 615 a.d. Fucking massive. Admire my shoulders there. And the beard of glory grants me wisdom. 0.98

00:02:57.760 And obviously how about some

00:03:04.080 glorious book gains in the Horus heresy. And so yeah two books after each other I read Legion 0.73

00:03:12.080 a few weeks back. Really solid book. I can definitely recommend that as well. So I'm gonna read those.

00:03:17.920 I don't know when but they're quite fast to read. They're not that thick and very interesting so they

00:03:24.000 tend to get read out quite easily. So yeah that's my that's my little book gains for this month. I

00:03:34.240 hope you have gotten some inspiration to read a bit more yourself and obviously as I might have mentioned

00:03:39.920 before I read either in the sun. Best fucking thing in the world or before I go to sleep. So it's more 0.97

00:03:46.240 of a routine. It's not like I sit and read all day. It's basically just half an hour before bed or as

00:03:53.040 long as the sun is up if I'm not doing anything else. So it's like sunbathing with a book.

00:04:00.000 And who am I? I'm the Lion of Wisdom XXO. Boom!
