Egyptian mythology, I presume?

Egyptian and Roman and Greek yup! Plays a decently large role in the book and her life.

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Oooh interesting! I'm gonna have to check it out!


message 9: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6447 comments Mod
Not a ton of it, its just the time period right? When much of Egypt had been taken over by Greek myth. And then her move to Rome changes what gods she is around. It is very much so historical fiction though. But it was enjoyable!

Up to 10/18 already! And only missing 4 prompts! The poetry one is the hardest for me


message 11: by Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover (new)

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Wow that's awesome Brittany! Yeah poetry is gonna be a hard one for me too. I have The Hidden Oracle (The Trials of Apollo, #1) by Rick Riordan which has a hikau at the beginning of every chapter, so if I end up reading it sometime soon, I'm definitely gonna be putting it in that category. Lol.

Brittany | 6447 comments Mod
Haha! Well if that counts.... I may be able to figure something out lol


message 13: by Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover (new)

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Well, I'd count it. Lol. I don't read poetry books, so I gotta bend the rules somehow. Lol.
