The Greek Gods Book Tag

Thanks Chaotic Everything for tagging me for this! You may not know this, but I used to absolutely love Greek mythology as a kid! (I think Percy Jackson influenced that, lol) 

The Rules:

• Pingback to me here (BookBum Zuky created this tag!) so I can read all your posts!!
• You can use my graphics if ya like, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to
• Tag as many people as you want, but please, share the love.

Zeus: King of the Gods – your favorite book: 

I can’t decide, I apologize. I have too many. But my latest addiction would be One of Us is Lying; I love this book so far, but I’m trying not to read it too fast because I don’t want it to be over soon. 

Hera: Queen of the Gods – a badass female character:

Hmm..again, so many to choose from. How about Emma Carstairs from Lady Midnight?

Janus: God of Beginnings – your favorite debut(s):

If I hadn’t already mentioned One of Us is Lying, I’d say that. But how about Stalking Jack the Ripper? 

Athena: Goddess of Wisdom – your favorite non-fiction book:

After watching the movie, I decided to read the book Hidden Figures, and I’m enjoying it a lot so far!

Aphrodite: Goddess of Love – a book you adore and recommend everyone read (other than your favorite book!):

Well, one of my favorites would have to be I am the Messenger. Zusak is such an amazing author, but I recommend I am the Messenger simply because (for me at least) it was easier to become engrossed in than The Book Thief. 

Hades: God of the Underworld – an evil book you wish didn’t exist:

I have a lot of disappointments (like Victoria Laurie’s book When), but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it evil. 

Poseidon: God of the Sea & Earthquakes – a beautiful & ground-breaking book:

The Book Thief. The characters, the writing style, and overall story was at once hopeful, touching, sad, and chilling.

Apollo: God of the Arts – a beautiful book cover:

I haven’t read much of this yet, but The Night Circus‘ cover is one of my favorites of all time. It reminds me of the Webtoon Annarasumanara!

Hypnos: God of Sleep – a book so boring you almost fell asleep:

Ugh, don’t hate me for this, but Lord of the Rings. My dad read it to me when I was younger, and I constantly fell asleep during it. It probably didn’t help that he read it to me during bedtime. It wasn’t boring, I just didn’t like the writing style that much.

Hermes: Messenger of the Gods – a book you sped through:

Well, these technically don’t count, but how about Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, and Looking for Alaska? I read those during days when I was younger when my parents took me to two different places and I only brought one book, so I basically finished those in one sitting. That may have soured the experience for me though; I don’t like reading a book in one sitting.
