The description makes more sense now. Hopefully this month goes as planned and I can read one of my recs or another book someone else recommends. My recs all MG.
book #1
book #1
book #1
graphic novel
- I know that this book is controversial, but I liked it when I read it. (Indian Mythology) YA
- one of the last series written by Stan Lee (Chinese Mythology) MG
- This one was recommended to me and I liked it much more than I thought I would. (Not sure of the mythology) MG-YA
- Obviously there are lots of Rick Riordan books that could fit here. MG
- Newbery Medal (Korean Folklore)MGI always have trouble stopping at 4. You might want to eliminate Tiger's Curse due to the controversy regarding some of the content.

I'm new to this group so I'm not quite sure how to do this - I added some to the poll (which I'm pretty sure was the wrong way to do this) and literally got one of the names wrong (I put the second book not the first) so I'm starting over! (sorry)MG reads:
Both books are great reads by great authors, and they taught me about mythologies I never knew existed. I love the characters and they develop well.
(Indian Mythology)
(Korean Mythology)Honestly one of the best fantasy series I've ever read. Yall will totally be hooked once you start reading
YA reads:
The Gilded Ones is one of the best books I've ever read, and it has a strong theme of feminism.
(African mythology)I know this doesn't really fit with the rules but just as a detail, to any Percy Jackson fans, you should totally read The Sun And The Star - it releases on the second!
Mod
Hi Artemis! Welcome to the group😊 You did it completely right don't worry!
I didn't add Keeper of the Lost Cities because it's not really linked to any myth so doesn't really fit our theme. We read that book as a series readathon last year!
fun! i guess i was thinking more of Irish mythology - fairies and stuff when i put that
Mod
Hmm I actually never thought of that! Might have to do some research into the origin of fairies...

The Last Fallen Star which will also be a great read for Asian American and Pacific Islander Month! a Double win! Yay!"I don’t keep up with Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson spin off works because I think he’s just milking that cash cow at this point but I am curious, who are the Asian American characters or Pacific Islander characters in this new Nico book? Are they from the original series or are they new characters?
Kadi wrote: "Georgann wrote: "I plan to read The Last Fallen Star which will also be a great read for Asian American and Pacific Islander Month! a Doubl..."This a Rick presents book has nothing to do with Percy Jackson.
Rick helps edit, gives advice and promotes them but they are the authors own story, own characters not Rick's. He has an info thing on his website hope this helps.
