Anyone read any good books about mythology lately? One book I've read is Destined by Jessie Harrell. Its a retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.

Yeah, me neither. Thats like the only one I've read.
Mod
Everneath by Brodi Ashton was amazing! I also liked Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini.
Do you mean the one by Meg Cabot? If that's the one, I have it at home, but I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet.
Mod
Yeah, the one by Meg Cabot. I think Everneath and The Goddess Test are about Persephone and Hades too.
Mod
Yup, tons of authors have been writing them.
Hmmm, I read the first book in the Kronus Chronicles. I can't remember what it was called but it was interesting. Need also has a bit of Norse mythology in it.
I like Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs. its about the gorgon sisters, kind of a modern interpretation.
Yeah, I've heard about that book. Triplet monster hunters that are descended from gorgons? What about Oh. My. Gods.? Its by the same author. Basically, its about cliques in a school for demigods. Its too girly for my tastes, though.
Mod
I read Oh My Gods and really enjoyed it. I just have to say that the second novel in the series isn't quite as compelling...
Mod
This girl's mom suddenly marries this guy and moves to either Greece or an island (I can't remember...) but the guy runs a school. The girl starts going to the school and finds out that it is attended by demigods.
Mod
I think the girl is a demigod or at least has strains of godly blood herself.

Yeah, didn't know Need had mythology in it. Cool. If you want something fluffy, you can read the Goddess Girls series Very tweeny, but it seems cute. It starts with.Athena the Brain or at least I think it does.

It's later in the series.
Oh really. What's the first book? :)

Sweet Venom is free on amazon kindle right now!!! Oh, and I've just read Wake. Its not actually about Greek myth, but it is mentioned by the sirens (cursed handmaidens of Persephone) that the gods are dead. And plus, sirens are from myth.
Oh! I have Sweet Venom. It was pretty good, but for some reason I just wasn't into it. However, the ending was pretty awesome...
Okay. I got it and will read it someday.
Mod
It seems to me as if we are a nice, big, open family, that is not yet finished. :)
is awesome. And I feel bad self-promoting, but my novel,
has some background mythology based on a very different version of Medusa and Poseidon. No pressure though! Just an FYI. :)
Mod
Wait a minute. You wrote a book? I'm talking to a writer?
Thanks Jolie! Medusa is one of my favs too. :)Bookworm, yup, I'm a writer. Actually, I've got two books out, and working on the sequels. But reading was my first love. ;)
