Seriously...it was in the local ice cream shop, so I picked it up. It's called "Oracles of Delphi Keep," and you are hereby forewarned. The first chapter is about a baby girl named Theodosia (Theo for short), who was abandoned by her mother and left with a mysterious letter and a mysterious crystal pendant on a gold chain. A man left baby!Sue at an orphanage on a dark and stormy night, and a five-year old name Ian has an instant puppy love connection to her. (He names her; no one knows her real name.) She's blond and light-eyed, with an oval face, round cheeks, a "perfect little nub" of a nose, and did I mention she has a birthmark on her right shoulder in the shape of an eye?

Yes, that's all in the first chapter.

So, as you can imagine, once I'd read through it, I quickly put it down and read the latest issue of National Geographic instead. Before that, I read Tennyson's Idylls of the King (Arthurian legend in glorious blank verse), and before that, some prophecies from the Bible.
