The Greek Myths Reimagined #3 Back to a catch-up post from a 2021 read, Troy completes Stephen Fry's Greek Myths Reimagined trilogy! Synopsis From the publisher marketing:Full of tragic heroes, intoxicating love stories, and the unstoppable force of fate, there is no conflict more iconic than the Trojan War. Troy is the story of the epic battle… Continue reading Troy by Stephen Fry
Lore Olympus #1 Admittedly, I had no idea what Lore Olympus was when our sales rep for the publisher sold it to me back in the spring. When he told me that the print run kept increasing and he suggested more copies, I said sure. Then we sold those 12 copies in one day when… Continue reading Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe
The Greek Myths Reimagined #2 I hadn't realized it was almost exactly a year ago I reviewed Mythos, as I had also listened to it as an advanced listening copy on Libro.fm! It's a great follow-up, this time following the Greek human and demi-god heroes versus the gods themselves. Synopsis From the publisher marketing:In this… Continue reading Heroes by Stephen Fry

As as new-ish fan of Wonder Woman, I have been keen to get my hands on anything relating to my… Continue reading Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo
Freya #1 I don't remember exactly how I wound up with the advance reading copy (ARC) of Freya, but it definitely had my name written all over it - from my obsession with Norse mythology, to a badass woman on the cover, I was definitely going to inhale this book. Synopsis Freya is myth. She is… Continue reading Freya by Matthew Laurence
Percy Jackson & the Olympians #1 Just after I finished listening to the audiobook of The Lightning Thief, a good 8 years after my friend Iram told me I just had to read it, I found out it is part of this upcoming school year's Reading Olympics lists! I now can recommend officially 1 out of 45… Continue reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
