Haha! Even more difficult...

I think I'm going to say Ice by Sarah Beth Durst. I loved that one so, so much. And it is my favorite fairy/folk tale- East of the Sun, West of the Moon- so it has that going for it. The author is brilliant. I love all of the characters and the spin on the traditional tale. It was great. And I have re-read it time and time again and will continue to do so.

Sun, Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George

Also Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George is a great retelling of the story.

And, you are already aware of my relationship with the novel Scorpio Races. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

But Ice wins... :)

Really?! I might have to re-read them then. Give them another chance if you loved them so much. Mom was just talking about them too, just the other day. How funny!

Well... It went smoothly for a while... then sputtered to a stop when I picked up Scorpio Races again.
 
I really liked it. It had its moments of greatness, humor-wise. And it's poetic, y'know? But I feel like it tries a bit too hard. Too many metaphors. Too many references to maps. And there were inconsistencies with the characters.
 
I might be being a little nit-picky.
 
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what I've read of it so far, and plan to finish it soon. But it wasn't my favorite. And I now know why you had a hard time remembering if you read it.  I do wanna finish it though.

Yeah, it is hard to get around the map stuff, but I liked it enough to finish it. But it definitely went through one ear and out the other so to speak, because I read it not listened to it, you know what I mean?

Haha! In one eye and out the other just doesn't make much sense either. And I wanna finish it, but distractions. I've got less than 50 pages left of Scorpio Races then I am definitely picking it back up.
