Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [266]

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’ll spend the rest of my Sunday in bed reading I Am Not Jessica Chen by Ann Liang. I’ve heard incredible things about Ann Liang’s books and can see why. I’m only at 40% but it’s so packed with emotion! Liang has captured the teenage angst well and I think it’ll be relatable to anyone who has ever put pressure on themselves to be more/better/different/or just like that other person who’s incredibly successful, smart, rich, and looks like they have the best life.

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [265]

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’m reading The Ten Thousand Doors of January with Leslie and Julie. It’s my first buddy read of the year, and I’ve had this book on my TBR for ages, so I’m glad to finally be reading it. I’ve gone for the full immersive read this time with the ebook and audio, and I love how Harrow brings memories and images to life through the sense of smell! The only thing is these chapters are SUPER long! ๐Ÿคฃ

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [264]

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 finished my read earlier this morning and I haven’t picked anything up since then because I’ve been gaming all day. ๐Ÿคญ That said, I’m looking at these possibilities because I’m not quite sure yet what reading mood I’m in!

#FirstLinesFriday: 3 January 2025

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 donโ€™t give anything else about the book away just yet โ€“ you need to hook the reader first
  • Finallyโ€ฆ reveal the book!

First lines:

“A white silence blanketed the land. Newly fallen snow, hushed. Pure, crystalline ice hardening against the pale bark of the trees. The chilled air that swelled with the slow, sleeping breaths of a world that had yet to wake.
And a girl cloaked in heavy furs, waiting.”
