Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
(Prophecy of the Sisters, book 1)
Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Reading Dates: January 28 – February 5
Read Count: 1
Favorite Thing: The mad reverence for books that the entire family seems to have.
Least Favorite Thing: Info Dump Tea Parties and a main character who didn’t seem interesting enough to be a main character…
I hate to say it, but I can’t really recommend this book to anyone. I’d have given it a lower rating than 2 stars, but I’m basing this on Goodreads ratings, which says 2 stars means “it was ok” and that’s basically what this book was. It was “ok” and nothing more.

Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale
Rating: ★★★★☆
Reading Dates: February 6 – 7
Read Count: 3
Favorite Thing: The healing songs and the little illustrations included throughout.
Least Favorite Thing: Okay, I’ve been sitting for an hour now trying to think of a thing I didn’t like (that wasn’t just a character I wasn’t even supposed to like) and I genuinely can’t think of anything! I’ll try again later.
I would recommend this book to fans of fairy tale retellings and middle grade fantasy. I’ve read it three separate times, which should give you an idea of how enjoyable it is. I chose it this time as a palate cleanser after the disappointment of Prophecy of the Sisters.

The Tale of Oriel by Cynthia Voigt
(Tales of the Kingdom, book 3)
Rating: ★★★★★
Reading Dates: December 7, 2016 – February 10, 2017
Read Count: 2
Favorite Thing: The way Oriel thinks about things. Especially his likening himself to a river.
Least Favorite Thing: Fucking Tintage….
This one took me a little while longer than usual because I hit a slump while I was reading it and even once I pulled myself out of it, I didn’t immediately go back to this one.

Psych Major Syndrome by Alicia Thompson

Favorite Thing: The usage of psychology terms and definitions for chapter headings was interesting.
Least Favorite Thing: The characterization was crappy. All of the characters felt forced. Blech!
***ABANDONED***
I abandoned this book after trying for two days to read a novel that would normally take me only half a day and only making it to page 28. I give more details in my review.
