Human Gods | 2019 (29 books)

The theme for 2019 Reading Challenge (I have several themes planned out for the next few years, lol) A list of books that are about spirituality, world mythologies and religions, and retellings of those myths and such. Also, people becoming gods through altered states or what-have-you or stories about gods living among us. This is exciting!
