#Mythothon Sign Up & TBR

Mythothon is a month long readathon that will run from 1st to the 30th November in everyone's own timezone and it is hosted by Foxes and Fairytales. Head over there to find out more about the readathon and to sign up, if you're planning to join.

Anything goes - books, novellas, graphic novels, audiobooks etc.

To live up the name of the readathon, there are prompts in Ancient Greek style, which everyone can tackle how they want. I'll include both the graphic and the lay down of the prompts before going through my partial TBR. There are few books I'm sure I'll read, and everything else will be decided by my ever changing mood during the month. So I'm not sure which prompts I will do - we'll find it at the end of November!

My partial TBR

I haven't really decided the prompts as I can fit most of the TBR to at least two prompts. However, as soon as I saw Achilles and Patroclus as a prompt, I knew I was going to reread The Song of Achilles and use it for that prompt - how could I not? I've also pre-ordered Stephen Fry's Heroes, which I'll likely read and use for Homer prompt, because that's poetic if anything.

If you're joining the readathon, let me know, I'd love to check out your TBR post!
