Today, I‘m sharing my book review for a book I finished reading last night. I‘m not counting this book towards my Greek Mythology reading challenge that I‘m doing on StoryGraph because it doesn‘t work for any of the prompts but that‘s okay.

I decided to start this book. I read The Iliad And The Odyssey, The Aeneid and Aesop‘s Fables and it made me want to learn about the Greek Myths because I don‘t know anything about Greek Mythology so I feel like this book would be a good place for me to start learning about it. So far, I‘m finding this book very interesting.

I love stories of Greek gods and goddesses. I enjoyed listening to this at work and getting lost in the all too familiar stories I grew up loving! I‘m glad this is my #Greek month on my #20for20 #NewYearNewYou :) it gave me the excuse to delve into it :)

AkashaVampie I love the whole gods thing too! I really need to learn more about them one of these days. 5y

#narcissistic6
For literary characters that display narcissistic tendencies, these are the few that came to my mind:
1. Dorian Gray, Picture of Dorian Gray
2. Raskolnikov, Crime & Punishment
3. Dick Diver, Tender is the Night
4. Christian Grey, 50 Shades of Grey
5. Othello, Othello
6. Scarlett O‘Hara, Gone with the Wind

Thanks for the tag, @Cathythoughts . Here‘s tagging @dsfisher , @amvs1111 , @BekahB , if you wish to share. 🙂

julesG Oh yeah, Christian Grey! 7y

amvs1111 Fun! I'll have to think on this one. Gilderoy Lockhart and Humbert Humbert spring to mind though! 7y
