Because I am a mythological junky, of course. A lot of books from my TBR qualify.
Some books I'm considering:
The challenge host has created this list, which I'll probably use for inspiration. I also have my own Goodreads shelf to browse through for ideas (my list also includes fairy tale retellings, but I'm pretty sure those don't count for the challenge).
