Recs if you like The Wolf Den...

All the greek mythology I can find out there! There is a lot of Percy Jackson and then quite a bit more. A mixture of more modern retellings and also the books and plays they're derived from.

original fantasies INSPIRED by mythology and folklore (Greek, Arthurian, Norse, Buddhist, Slavic, Jewish, Irish, and more!)

books inspired by a range of mythologies (mostly Greek, Egyptian, & Hindu)

In honor of International Women’s Day here are books written by women, for women, about women. From rebellion to resilience, sisterhood to survival and family to friendships.

The list is a mix of books I’ve read and books that are on my TBR. I’ll be adding to the list as and when I read or find a book I think fits.

Historical Fiction that takes place in Ancient Rome or has protagonists who are Roman, this list is curated to female led stories

Ancient heroines, goddesses, villains, and ordinary civilians all fighting for a sliver of agency in traditionally male dominated societies. The mythos surrounding these women may be centuries old, but one thing is certain; a good novel can animate even the most ancient tales.

A list featuring the stories of women in the ancient world, in which their realities and experiences take centre stage. It will mostly include both historical fiction and mythological retellings, but I may occasionally add some nonfiction as well as ancient texts/plays/poetry ✨

These are my God Tier, Six Stars, Absolute Favourites, Certified Bangers

Tasty food, gorgeous landscapes, inspiring history - there's so much Italy has to offer for an interesting story.

Fierce women, complex women, angry women, female empowerment, and feminist themes - basically a collection of books that do away with misogynistic stereotypes and instead feature women as multi-faceted human beings ❤️‍🔥
