So i'm really enjoying the current trend of Greek mythology rewritings and id like to read books like this but about either Norse mythology or stories from the Bible !
It can also be about other mythologies or religions but these 2 are the ones which interest me the most !

Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology is probably right up your alley, but I understand that Gaiman isn’t exactly at the top of the referral list right now. His books used to be very popular in libraries. If you can find one for free, I think you’d enjoy it.
Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne Valente is short, fast-paced & has Biblical themes but I won’t say more than that for fear of spoilers.
For Norse:
* *Circe* by Madeline Miller but make it Freya: Powerful goddess navigating a man’s world.
* *American Gods* by Neil Gaiman: Modern gods walking among us—Norse pantheon included, gritty and weird.
* *The Gospel of Loki* by Joanne M. Harris: Trickster god tells his side, unreliable narrator vibes.
For Biblical:
* *Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal* by Christopher Moore: Humorous take on Jesus’ missing years.
* *Good Omens* by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: Angel and demon team up against the apocalypse—biblical themes with a comedic twist.
* *The Red Tent* by Anita Diamant: Story of Dinah from a female perspective, humanizing a minor character.
