You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!

List has been pulled from Wikipedia's (Simple) Mythologies list, so it's definitely not all-encompassing, but it'll at least get me out of the standard Greek/Roman/Norse list. If you want to go deeper, the full list is a bit overwhelming, but check it out! The bonus rounds are pulled from that full list.

The goal: read 1 book from each mythology. You can read a book that reviews the mythology from a historical perspective, a book inspired by the deities of the mythology, a modern retelling of the myths, or any other way you want to interpret the prompt. 

I know that there are still people who believe in these deities and myths. I fully support those who do, and this list is nothing more than my desire to learn more about the stories that shaped the world and the cultures in it.
