Good Omens di Terry Pratchett (Alliebadger)

Tartarughe divine di Terry Pratchett (electronicmemory)
electronicmemory: Humorous but also insightful stories about ordinary mortals who find themselves caught up in the - often petty - fights of their gods.

American Gods di Neil Gaiman (BeckyJG)

Coyote Blue di Christopher Moore (Ape)
Ape: Gods barging into the lives of innocent people and creating havoc.

Severance di Chris Bucholz (Alliebadger)
Alliebadger: Both are sharply intelligent reads that keep you intrigued with their unique plot. Many lines will make you laugh out loud.

To get ahead in life it helps to have a god or goddess on your side. After reviewing their choices, a couple chooses their god (from the online database of course). He moves in with them, mayhem ensues.

I think this is a 2.5 star book. Probably would have been even funnier if I was familiar with more of the obscure gods referred to in the book. Started off as a interesting new take, but halfway through I felt like I had read similar books before. (I know sounds quite implausible, but think Terry Pratchett) (

This comedic look at the complexities of the human-divinity relationship is oddly like Christopher Moore's novels. It is funny, smart, sarcastic, and brutally honest at time, ,and it is these qualities that readers will be entranced by. It doesn't get any more amusing than a divine love triangle gone wrong, all at the cause of the raccoon-headed god of luck, Luka. Not even gods whose area of expertise is good fortune can evade all of life's pitfalls, and with an eternity to ruminate on wrong-doings the situation can escalate to godly proportions. (

Take care when picking your god, you don't want to end up with him or her crashing on your couch and eating all your food. (

To Mom and the DFWWW, for all the usual reasons.

To Sally, just because I know she’ll be really, really excited to be mentioned in a dedication, and anyone who can put up with me for this long deserves some kind of acknowledgment.

To World of Warcraft. For the Horde!

To me, because it’s been a while since I’ve dedicated a book to myself, and damn it, I’ve earned it with this one.

And to Squirrel Girl, greatest superhero ever. And, yes, she did defeat Thanos single-handedly. It’s in continuity. Deal with it.

"Hello. My name is Anubis. I like long walks on the beach, carrying departed souls into the underworld, and the cinema of Mr. Woody Allen."
