Recs if you like The Penelopiad...

List of Greek Myth re-telling/inspired books.

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

One sitting. Thirty strange stories. Zero wasted pages.

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

Requirements:

1. The Mc(s) is a tricksters or unreliable narrator who spends most of the book lying to, bluffing or otherwise misleading others or themselves.

2. They would continue lying even if they didn’t have to either they can’t help it or enjoy the game too much.

3. This causes situations that get unpredictable, chaotic or even completely ridiculous as the characters dodge or face consequences for their actions.

short books around 200 pages or less that you can easily read in one sitting! for those who just want a quick read or those trying to hit their reading goals ! i tried to include a variety of genres including lit fic, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, etc.

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.

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

it's giving cunt

Fantasy and sci-fi books where much of the plot is driven by politics

In the back of my copy of Circe, I found a recommendation list from Miller on exploring "more about Circe, The Odyssey, or Greek Myth"

Service95 Book Club Monthly Reads + more and more books from their lists :)

Retellings of the most famous women of Greek mythology

a list of the books that are in 2 quests

On the quest to collect badges, sometimes you just need a shorter read for a palate cleanse. I made this list as a resource for quicker reads in between heavy hitters - all books listed below are 1) included in at least one PageBound quest and 2) are 200 pages or less. Any and all leads are welcome!

Please note: This will not include books only found in readalongs or limited quests, as I want this list to reflect books that satisfy always-available quests.

Keeping up with the 700+ books featured on Overdue since 2013

Books that retell and reference Greek Mythology
