Circe is a novel that seems to contain so many small stories pertaining to iconic Greek myth. Amazing characters come and go, dipping into their lore on the way. 
This novel was incredibly accessible, coming from someone who does not usually frequent this genre. Everything is explained and no prior reading is necessary to admire the beauty of this story.

Circe is a great book for fans of Greek mythology, new or seasoned veterans - or indeed admirers of myth and tales in general.

The Iron Woman is quite a lovely book that has some very interesting and fantastic characters - one of which being the beloved Iron Man (Or known in the cinematic industry as The Iron Giant).

This is a children's book that has a core message of the importance of being eco-friendly, to care for your environment and to be responsible for your own waste, be it bin rubbish or toxic waste.

I would have loved to read this when I was in primary school as a pre-teen and would urge anyone around that age to give this a go.

This is one of the easiest five star reviews I have ever given, no shadow of a doubt.
Honestly, all I knew about Norse Mythology was the snippet that the Marvel movies involve. You can definitely enjoy this book without any prior knowledge!

Norse Mythology is an epic collection of short stories. Neil Gaiman has collated some truly intriguing stories depicting tales of Odin, Loki, Thor and other Norse heroes.
All of these stories are incredibly bite-sized and make for perfect evening reading.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into Norse mythology, especially if you know literally nothing.
