Happy Sunday! I’m back today with “Sundays in Bed With….” a meme that dares to ask what book has been in your bed this morning. Come share what book you’ve spent time curled up reading in bed, or which book you wish you had time to read today! This meme was originally hosted by Midnight Book Girl.
Today, I’m in bed with In the Midst of Omens by Nicole Bailey. This is a reimagining of The Epic of Gilgamesh, and I’m really enjoying it!
Title: In the Midst of Omens
Author: Nicole Bailey
Series: The Legacy of Gilgamesh
Publication Date: June 4, 2024
Synopsis: A king determined to be remembered for all time…A jealous goddess who desires his throne.
King Gilgamesh rules the world’s preeminent city, the jewel of creation, Uruk.
But that is not enough. His desire for legacy consumes him and drives his ceaseless ambition—until the gods step in.
Their solution? Enkidu—a man with no past.
Enkidu captivates and frustrates Gilgamesh, drawing the king’s attention from eternity. He’s the perfect solution—for everyone except the goddess Inanna.
She has her own plans in place for Gilgamesh’s future until Enkidu’s arrival sabotages them.
No one spurns a goddess and gets away with it. Not even the king.
Especially not the king.
A reimagining of the world’s oldest written story, this fantasy reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast is filled with romance, twists and turns, and gripping characters.
