This meme is called The Book Detective. It's a new meme hosted by the lovely Kim@ Divergent Gryffindor where we post books

The topic for today is your favorite MYTHOLOGY BOOK/SERIES
I've been a huge fan of mythology, (mostly ancient Greek) since
I did Classical Studies at high-school, many moons ago. So when I found the
Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, it was insta-love. This is a great
mythology series, with its main focus on the Greek Gods. The books are full of
adventure and involve many escapades involving the main character and his two
best friends. The series consists of 5 books and they are an easy light read,
that are great if you don’t want something too heavy and thought provoking.
However don't be fooled by the child friendly cover, as this book is
awesome at all ages.
If
your looking for a slightly mature read however, I would suggest Brodie Ashtons
'Everneath' series. Which is still about Greek Mythology, but more specifically
Hades, and the Underworld. Plus the cover is gorgeous!!
Do you have any suggestions for Mythology Books or Series? Do you have any favorites?
I love Percy Jackson! I want to read Everneath but I'm not sure if I'll like it.
ReplyDeleteI loved Percy too! I didn't know Everneath is about Greek myth too! I'll need to check that out next time I visit a bookstore :)
