So! I’ve been gone for a while, but the good news is that I’m done with finals, almost nearly completely happy with my grades, and have a massive amount of free time until my summer class starts in July. The downside is that I am completely out of practice with writing reviews, and I have so many to do I’m not sure where to start! I’ve written half of a mini-review yesterday, but I couldn’t get myself motivated to write the rest of it. This is bad news for my review stats, and so I think I’ve figured out a way to get myself back into shape.
I’m holding a poll! Of which books to review first. Yup. I’ve got around 15 books I need to review, but I’ve focused this poll on the ones from April that I haven’t already started writing reviews for. I figure those are highest priority, right? Right.
[polldaddy poll=3208238]
Pick the two books you most want me to review. I’m going to close the poll on…Wednesday, maybe? Don’t want to get too far behind, after all. Meanwhile, here’s some stats~

Currently reading: The Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink, but it may be a little bit too dark for all this sunshine that’s been happening lately. I may drop it for something else, I don’t know.

Oscar Wilde ftw!
Also voted Oscar Wilde. Such a great book and would love to see more people prompted to read it.
I voted for Vernon God Little. It’s been on my shelves for months now. Happy reading and good luck writing!
Book 113 and 114 sound really interesting, although I guess I’m more interested in 113 since 114 got such a low rating.
It can be intimidating to me to look at a huge stack of books to be reviewed. I always remember Anne Lamott’s refrain (and book title): Just take them Bird by Bird.
i just bought prophecy of the sisters. it’ll be a while before i get to it but i’m interested to hear what you think before i read it!
