Mythothon. Sign Up & What Will I Be Reading

Do you know how much I love Greek Mythology? I love it to the moon and back! It's an obsession I've since I was a child. Since I love it so much, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to join #Mythothon (hopefully I'm writing this word correctly), a Greek Mythology themed readathon hosted by Louise @Foxes and Fairytales. I'm very excited about it, but I firstly acted liked this when I figured out it was already the third day of November and I hadn't learned about this readathon before...

Mythothon is a month long readathon from 1st to 30th November in your timezone. While the readathon is based on Greek Mythology, the books  you have to read don't have to focus on any mythology. Sign-ups are open will remain open throughout the readathon (latecomers are welcome!). You can share Twitter updates, reading sprints, Instagram photos or just generally share how you’re getting on with the readathon using the hashtag #mythothon.

Rules

• If it can be added on Goodreads, it counts — novellas, graphic novels, audiobooks etc. are all fair game.
• Each book only counts for one square — so choose wisely.

WHAT WILL I BE READING

I haven't decided what I will be reading for each prompt. Well, I'd love to be able to read a book for reach prompt, but I never read twenty-five books in a month (and I don't think I ever will). However, here the prompts I picked and which books I'll read for them:

• Hebe: A Place Called Perfect by Helena Duggan (a middle grade novel);
• Aphrodite: The Architect of Song by A.G. Howard; 
• Ancient Greece: Escaping from Houdini by Kerri Maniscalco;
• Echidna: The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco;
• Artemis: The Girl King by Mimi Yu (the cover of the edition I'm reading features a wolf);
• Hades: Paper Girl by Cindy R. Wilson;
• Demeter: Sea Witch by Sarah Henning (I may read another book with a nature word in the title and then this book may go to the Poseidon prompt).

Are you joining Mythothon? If yes, please let me know. 

Have you read any of the books I'm planing to?

If yes, what did you think of it? Loved? Hated?
