I have always loved mythology, particularly Greek mythology. In fact, I was obsessed with it as a child due to my love of Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. I am starting the YA Mythology Challenge to encourage the reading of young adult titles that incorporate mythology (Greek, Egyptian, Norse, etc.) into their story lines.
Participants:- The challenge will run from June 12, 2011 – December 31, 2011.
- There are 3 different levels:
- Half-blood: Read 5 books that incorporate mythology
- Minor god: Read 10 books that incorporate mythology
- Olympian: Read 15+ books that incorporate mythology
- You can join anytime by filling out the form below
- If you are a blogger, you must write a sign-up post that links back to this challenge page (Feel free to use the image above as a button).
- If you are not a blogger, just leave a link to your account on Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, LibrayThing, etc.
Here is a list of books that qualify for the challenge: http://www.goodreads.com/list/user_vote/782167
Feel free to add to it or let me know if I missed anything!

ReplyDeleteWant to recommend some books for this?
Hi there! I got your invite on Goodreads for this, and it sounds wonderful! However, I don't have the money to buy books and I only have one on the list. Good luck with it, though! :D
ReplyDeletefinally got around to signing up -- love this challenge! (I also added some books to your Goodreads list - hope you don't mind!)
ReplyDelete@Jessie. I don't mind at all! Thanks for adding them :)
ReplyDeleteWheee! This is a great challenge. Signed up but I'm not sure if I can find all the books in time (I don't have most of them so will have to borrow. Hehe) But I'll really try to finish this! ;)
ReplyDelete@thetravelingreader I'm so glad you signed up! Thanks for participating :)

I've always been a fan of mythology so this is my kind of challenge. Posted a link on my sidebar, too! Thanks for this awesome reading challenge, Tiffany! ;)
