Book Talk: Greek Mythology Recommendations

By the time this post goes up, I will have already been whisked away to the Mediterranean. While I'm there, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Greece so I thought it'd be fitting to put together a list of my favorite books and series based on Greek mythology. I tried to gather a variety of series and the differences range from age appropriateness (middle grade through adult are represented) as well as series length (there's a stand alone, a handful of trilogies, and a couple longer series) and the actual myths these books are based on (you'll be seeing Pandora's Box, Persephone, and more). I won't be including the novellas and short stories within the series since those technically aren't required reading and it's more fun to discover those on your own. There's also a mini Visiting Voices in this post courtesy of Allison, so a huge thank you to her for helping me out with this book rec! Let's get to the books!

Book Talk: June Wrap Up

June has been such a long month and I'm not even mad about it. It started out with finals week and moving out then suddenly I was free. Summer at last! I got out of school on a reading high and while I didn't feel like I was reading fast, I definitely managed to fit a hefty amount of books in this month. I even caught up to my Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge! That'll be very helpful when I fall behind again next month.

If you're interested in seeing what I was reading in previous months, you can find all of those here. Now get comfy and grab a snack because this one's a doozy. Click the read more to get to the books!
