Week 5: Six Crimson Cranes (5/5)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57628680-six-crimson-cranes

I liked the novel a lot. A cursed princess that saves herself with the help of others instead of most fairy tales in which women are to be saved by men? Definitely count me in.
Adding books from the last weeks:

Week 2 - "The Last Hours"
Novel set in Medieval England at the onset of the Black Plague. Loved it. 5/5

Week 3 - "The Witch's Path"
Book with a lot of ideas on how to advance your witchcraft practice. I liked it quite well, 5/5

Week 4 - "Daughter of the Moon Goddess"
Novel set in a fantasy realm based on Chinese mythology. It sadly has a few bad fan fiction tropes like the love triangle. I liked the idea itself, the novel sadly was more meh, 3/5
Book 1/52 -
The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks

This book was really good, I give it 4/5 stars. The ending was a very dissapointing to me however the rest of the book was excellent.

51 books to go. I am yet to choose my next book.
Finished "Ancestral Tarot"

It was okay. Nothing ground-breaking, but it had some nice ideas in it on how to use the tarot to work with ancestors.
