The Letter A

Sixty years ago, my father was welcomed into this world. This year will mark five years since his death. He’s been dead in my eyes for many more years than five but a small piece of my heart still mourns for what could have been. 

The list made by bookish.com (looked for original post but couldn’t find it, drop me the link if you find/know it).

January: read a book that supports your New Year’s resolution

February: read a love story

March: read a book from the decade you were born

April: read a National Book Award winner

May: read a book about mental health

June: read a book with a locale, not set in the United States

July: read a book about an overlooked figure in history

August: read a collection of essays or short stories

September: read an entire series

October: read a book that scares you

November: read a graphic novel or comic book

The Prophecy of Shadows by Michelle Madow

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A mix between Percy Jackson and The Secret Circle. The plot of The Prophecy of Shadows will take you on a magical ride.

Pros: magic, intrigue, quests, and world building. Cons: female lead full of self doubt, predictable plot, small amount of character growth, and missing that extra *something* to make it an awesome read.

I liked TPoS and might continue the series because of the magic and mythology which make it an interesting read.
