Just a quick reminder that rating and reviewing books that you DO like makes a huge difference to authors and creators. The people who do NOT like things are always very vocal about it. Spread positivity in a tiny way whenever you can by telling others about the things you DO like.

Apparently my parents had discovered new—and loud—ways of being the center of attention: in this case, something called medieval folk music.
