#WWWWednesday: 6 November 2024

Today is gonna be tough for so many people and I’m so sorry that this has happened (again). As an international viewer watching this all unfold, I’m astounded that it’s actually possible for a convicted felon to be elected President. Sending positivity and courage to all. Have strength! 🫂

Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:

  1. What did you read last?
  2. What are you currently reading?
  3. What will you read next?

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [255]

We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.

Becky and I started our buddy read of Bright Young Women this weekend. I admittedly haven’t made much progress (12%) but I’m hoping to make more tonight! It’s a lot, to say the least, but I’m intrigued by the concept of the author taking power back from serial killers and instead empowering the women who lived through these horrifying events. I’m keen to continue!

#FirstLinesFriday: 1 November 2024

Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Here are the rules:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

First lines:

“In the middle of a collection of cornfields, in the middle of the country, in the middle of nowhere, a weathered wooden post marked the intersection of two roads.”

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [254]

We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.

I’ve found myself in a suddenly very fickle reading mood. I haven’t continued my buddy read since putting it aside last week, and I haven’t continued the romance fantasy I started either. I’ve picked up multiple books too including titles I started months ago and am so close to finishing. I’ve already finished some titles this weekend and others I’m wondering whether I’m really in the mood for. Not sure what’s going on in my tired brain but my mood has left me with this ongoing pile:

#FirstLinesFriday: 25 October 2024

Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Here are the rules:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

First lines:

“I dream sometimes about a house I’ve never seen.
I mean, pretty much nobody has. Logan Caldwell claims he ding-dong-ditched the place last summer break, but he’s an even bigger liar than me. The truth is you can’t really see the house from the road. Just the iron teeth of the front gate and the long red lick of the drive, maybe a glimpse of limestone walls crosshatched by honeysuckle and greenbriers.”
