November TBR with a reading challenge all lined up

I haven't taken part in any reading challenges this year so it was surprising when my brain decided it wanted to pick one up in the penultimate month of the year. The challenge I'm going to do actually sounds super cool readathon and is called the Mythothon.

The Mythothon is run by Louise over at Foxes And Fairy tales, and takes place over the entire month of November. There are 24 challenges for you to try to complete, with each challenge being based off of a different Greek God.  I'm going to try and do as many of the challenges as possible, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to read 24 books this month.

Onto the books!
