Norse Mythology | Neil Gaiman

Fun reading! I honestly haven't had the chance to dive too much into Norse myths, though I may know a little more than some due to osmosis from Rick Riordan's Magnus Chase series, the tv show Vikings, and Marvel comics 😉(thanks pop culture).

It's a nice short read with everything very nicely tying together I found. Not much fat here.

Why yes, I read books for a younger audience than I am. And yes, I usually enjoy myself.

Loved Chirrut. He was probably my favourite in Rogue One as well.

Always feels so good to read a new Tolkien.

This was a harder read than I expected. Definitely a thinking book that I'll have to re-read at some point in the future since the message of the book becomes clearer towards the end.

I don't know if I've ever disliked a book this much. Maybe it just wasn't to my taste, but I didn't like the story or the characters at all, and it's a dumb ending in my opinion.

And another one down! Good read this one.

Finished this last night. First half dragged a bit but once Arthur and Guinevere met it picked up quite nicely.

And book two of two! A much more enjoyable read, though familiar from having read "Heaven Is For Real". Still extraordinary to hear people's stories though!

Book one of two that I finished today. An interesting read, but not necessarily one I would recommend.
