Notice: I am currently accepting review submissions for mythology-related books only. There must be a clear connection to at least one of Earth’s mythologies, legends, or fairy tales. If you are interested in submitting your book for me to review, please contact me via my Facebook page.

Welcome to the place where I review books! For a long time, I loved making lists of books and media, then plowing through them one by one until I became thoroughly knowledgeable about that topic.

Now, I do the same with Mythology books. In addition to writing my own mythology books, I like to read the work of others, both for inspiration and to give back a little.

The following are some of the lists I’ve created, along with any individual reviews I’ve done so far. Enjoy!
