Greek Gods #squadgoals by Courtney Carbone
5.0

Srsly, these books are to die 4!!!

Okay, once again I was blown away by the immensely creative way this book was written. As an adult, some of the text shortcuts were not ones I understood or knew what they meant, but fortunately there was a bit of a glossary to help with that. As a high school librarian, I love how well this explains in an easy to understand way the Greek myths and really how messed up all of those gods were. It only took me two thirty minute lunch breaks to read this, as it is a very quick read. But I was laughing and snorting the whole time! I even passed it on to one of the teachers in my school who used to teach mythology, and he loved it, and returned it me later that same day! I don't know if enough teachers know about these books, but I am going to try to get out there and share them with teachers more, as they are some of the best ways to get someone interested in all these crazy stories. So many parts that were snarky and just hilarious. The only thing that maybe I had an issue with was the WTF and FML abbreviations. Knowing what the "F" stands for did bother me a bit. However I also know that teens are using those abbreviations, so it is probably a bit naive to expect that would be anything new for them.

Another great book in this series, and I look forward to hopefully more to come!
