Greek Mythology retellings - upcoming 2023 releases -

I am super excited to share with you 10 up-and-coming and coming releases this year for the Greek mythology genre! I am a HUGE mythology nerd, even to the degree of doing a 6 year Classical Studies degree and get stupid giddy when I know new books are coming out, so if you like mythology like me, and want to take the time to listen to my ramblings then keep your eyes peeled as I plan to write many more blogs on this topic this year. Oh, and this is the page to save to remembe

About The Blog & Me

The Roots

I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humour, and most importantly, your heart.

All of these elements brought me to start SecretWorldOfaBook.

I've always been a huge lover of reading, ever since childhood and its that passion of wanting to share the written word and the stories that I read with like minded bookworms, so I launched this project on Instagram back in 2019 which has just been thriving and has quickly gained a loyal following, I have met so many lovely people since joining the Bookstagram community which has led me to begin this blogging journey.

So who am I?

I am a mum of four babies and four fur babies. I was a Teaching Assistant working with the little kiddies, which I loved, but I have recently decided to begin my own writing journey. I am currently doing a University degree on a Classical Studies course to help me write my Greek Mythology novel and in the meantime I am writing my memoir. Keep your eyes peeled for a sneak peak coming soon...

So If you love reading reviews with minimal to no spoilers then browse my site, read my reviews, and explore what excites and interests me and hopefully, you as well.
