Kickstarter Book Review: Cryptids, Creatures & Critters by Rachel Quinney

August 10, 2020

I just love it when my Kickstarter books come with a lot of swag! Apart from the beautifully illustrated and full-colour book, my Kickstarter package included washi tapes, a map of the creatures featured in this book, patches, a pin, stickers, prints, and postcards! Cryptids, Creatures & Creatures is a lovely book that features over… Read More Kickstarter Book Review: Cryptids, Creatures & Critters by Rachel Quinney

Book Review: Warriors, Witches, Women by Kate Hodges

March 25, 2020

While I was requesting the book on Thor, I also chanced upon Warriors, Witches, and Women. Requesting this book from NetGalley was a no brainer because I love mythology and I thought it would be very fun to have the spotlight on women in various myths from around the world. While I enjoyed this feminist… Read More Book Review: Warriors, Witches, Women by Kate Hodges

Book Review: Thor by Morgan Daimler

March 20, 2020

I have been pretty good with not requesting things from NetGalley for the past few months because I have a huge TBR list (and access to the library), but when I saw this book about Thor, I was immediately intrigued. My experience of the Norse Myths is limited to the marvel movies, Neil Gaiman’s retelling,… Read More Book Review: Thor by Morgan Daimler

Stories from Saxo: The Other Norse Myths by Ian Cumpstey

November 20, 2019

It’s another Kickstarter book! Anytime I see a Kickstarter for a book on myths, legends, and/or folktales, I just can’t help but back it. Especially if I’m not familiar with those legends. Stories from Saxo is a collection of Norse tales from the Danish writer Saxo Grammaticus. His work, Gesta Denorum (Deeds of the Danes)… Read More Stories from Saxo: The Other Norse Myths by Ian Cumpstey

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

October 28, 2019

I’m back with my re-read of the Percy Jackson series! According to Goodreads, I’ve actually read all five books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series, but I’m enjoying the re-read so I’ll probably just continue on. This second book in the series starts with Percy having a pretty good year. Sure, he doesn’t… Read More The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

Tales of Britain by Jem Roberts

October 26, 2019

I’m back with another book of myth and legends! I actually have one more book coming via Kickstarter soon-ish, but I needed to feed my need for old tales and this has been on my Overdrive TBR list for quite some time. Tales of Britain is a collection of 77 tales from Britain, Scotland, and… Read More Tales of Britain by Jem Roberts

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

September 16, 2019

I’ve always had a fond place in my reading heart for Percy Jackson, mostly because this was the book that I saw in a bookstore, read a few pages, and then promptly forgot the title and author (and only remembered the tagline) and almost went crazy trying to find the book. So when I saw… Read More The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Skye: The Island and Its Legends by Otta Swire

July 15, 2019

I was at the Skye Museum of Island Life when I saw this book – given that I love legends and folklore, I knew that I had to have this as a souvenir of our time in Skye. Obviously, I wasn’t disappointed; this was a delightful book that took me through time and back to… Read More Skye: The Island and Its Legends by Otta Swire

The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

May 30, 2019

Normally, it takes me quite some time to pick up a second book by the same author, but I happened to visit the library right after finishing The Power of Myth and managed to find The Hero With A Thousand Faces – Joseph Campbell’s work on the idea of the monomyth. The monomyth, to put… Read More The Hero With A Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell

May 21, 2019

When I was reviewing Forgotten Yorkshire Folk and Fairytales, I wondered about how myths and other tales travel across countries. As a respond, Warren suggested that I read The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. Unfortunately, only four libraries in Singapore have the book, so I decided to read The Power of Myth… Read More The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell
