And I’m also glad to know that it wasn’t “cutesy” but rather was “intriguer” as you put it. 🙂 Thanks a bonus for me!

Thanks for being on the tour.

ALL OF THEM. Or, I guess, if I had to pinpoint one book, I’d say it was One Hundred Years of Solitude. I hated it so hard.

This actually was a great setting for me at this time, because I just read a nonfiction book about the collapse of the Ottomon Empire. Before reading that book, I wasn’t necessarily all that into Ottoman Empire settings.

I’ve personally only started to enjoy it (I can’t remember the ones I read when I was younger, but there were a few short stories written with m.r. and I remember finding them dull).

I can’t tell if its the setting or what but something about it is kind of off putting to me. However it sounds like you enjoyed it so I’ll stop rambling about my own issues!

It really wasn’t predictable and precocious in the way that you seem to be thinking. Promise. It’s intriguinger than I was thinking it would be. Of course, I was looking forward to the adorableness I was expecting…

I wasn’t disappointed either. Just surprised. And I did really love the Istanbul setting.

They’re not following her around in a creepy way! They’re just, like, around. In the trees.
