Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (Princess Academy, Book 1)

   My brother took one look at this book and made a dismissive comment, something along the lines of "That is definitely not my kind of book."

  I laughed, because it does look pretty silly on the surface, but it's actually surprisingly engaging. In all fairness, he's probably right about it not being his kind of book. However, I found that despite my own doubts as to whether or not it would be my kind of book... I enjoyed it, and am interested in reading the next in the series.

  Sure, it's a book about a "princess academy", but it's also a book by SHANNON HALE, so who cares if the premise sounds silly?

Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale

"I'll not find a better man than you, not on the steppes, not in any city or in all the wilds of the Eight Realms. You're better than seven years of food. You're better than windows. You're even better than the sky."

Dashti, the heroine of Book of a Thousand Days. Quickish color pencil drawing.
