The Olympic Games is a readathon held in june and is hosted by booktuber Ishi Time. It is based on camp half-blood from the Percy Jackson series. I didn't have the best time with the first book in that series, but I thought that this would be a fun readathon to participate in not only because I love Greek mythology, but also because the host did a fantastic job in creating this.
For the readathon, you declare your god and then complete the mandatory and advanced challenges. I decided to declare Athena as she is my favourite Greek goddess.
Here are all the books I read to complete the challenges. To see my reviews of the books, click the linked title.
