Always my favorite! Jim Dale’s narration is superior!

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.

Y’all I’m sorry. I just can’t. Maybe I’ll try again another time but I was just so bored. Fantasy/romance is NOT FOR ME.

I picked this up to read before I watched Mike Flanagan’s adaption on Netflix. This was definitely not what I thought it was gonna be. That is the only reason I’ve given it a low score. I was going in thinking it would be more spooky and full of ghost stories. It’s not a bad story just not what I wanted from it. 

Plus, the main character was kind of annoying. 

Seemed more like a love story than anything, which is not my thing.
