Day 09 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

30 Day Book Meme for December 2012

Day 9 is "a book you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving." I try not to have too many expectations going into reading a book. I love pretty covers but I know that doesn't necessarily reflect the material inside those fancy covers. 

I think one book I didn't know if I'd like or not was Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. It was a book club choice, which I've had bad experience with book choices before in a book club. And the cover is pretty cool but I saw those scrolly towers and was a bit afraid this would be some kind of weird historical read or something. Fortunately, I went on and read this and it turned out to be one of my favorite reads of the year!
