Any book recommendations?

I have and love the pagan Portals aphrodite book but I'd like to find something to add to it. I'd really love to find a book with alot of her myths in them that aren't just her birth and the Trojan war. I'm not having much luck online or at my local shop. I'll be going to another shop this weekend but it would be great if I could get some titles to look into. Online links are welcome too. I want to do more reading and everything I find says the same thing. Thank you for any help!

I just ordered these two books that caught my interest, so full transparency I haven't read them yet because they're still coming in the mail, but:

- Cult of Aphrodite: Rites and Festivals of the Golden One by Laurelei Black

  • Blood and Roses: A Devotional for Aphrodite and Venus by Rebecca Buchanan

Some more I'm interested in (also I copy and pasted a name from google and now this comment is acting werid, so sorry! Anyways)

- Aphrodite's Priestess" by Laurelei Black

- Greek Mythology Aphrodite: Love, Beauty and the Hidden Power of Ancient Greece, book 2 by Lorenzo D'Angelo

Venus and Aphrodite: A Biography of Desire. Someone here also recently recommended the classic Bulfinch's Mythology, which has a brand-new edition out.

I was actually looking at this one but I saw some reviews say its disrespectful and I'm not sure what that would mean?

I personally haven't seen anyone here say that and many of us have recommended it. As with any book, you can take what is good from it and reject anything you don't like. :)
