Sorry if this update is more rant and less book/blog-ish 😂

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 be spending my Sunday night in bed reading The Prospects. This came in one of the final Illumicrate Afterlight boxes that I subscribed to and it’s a beautiful, very sporty edition. I hardly know about baseball and this goes into more detail than I expected, but I’m still able to enjoy it and I’m curious to see where it goes!

We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is Ten Characters Authors Surprisingly Redeemed (which characters did you not like at first, but grew to love by the end of the book?) (submitted by Deanna @ A Novel Glimpse) but I’m going rogue!

I’m spending my Sunday night in bed reading Blood Price. I’ve been excited, and admittedly a bit nervous, to start this because it’s written by the wonderful Nicole Evans, aka Thoughts Stained in Ink. I’m so lucky that I get to read an early copy as part of the tour for Nicole’s debut! 25% in and I’m really enjoying it but I want to throw down for Ashilde so bad. Girl is really going through it and my heart hurts! Have I teared up twice already? YES 😭

#FirstLinesFriday: 13 September 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:

“You may not remember me, but I have never forgotten you, begins the letter written in the kind of cursive they don’t teach in schools anymore. I read the letter twice in stinging astonishment. It’s been forty-three years since my brush with the man even the most reputable papers called the All-American Sex Killer, and my name has long since fallen to a footnote in the story.”

I’m spending my Sunday night in bed reading Nine Tailed. This is an ARC that I got post-release and I’ve been looking forward to reading it ever since. I have to admit it’s a bit… Messy but I love all the Korean mythology. I just wish the romance wasn’t so intrusive in the plot!

I’m spending my Sunday night in bed finishing How Not to Drown In a Glass of Water (hopefully). I’m reading a physical copy alongside the audiobook, and the narrator is amazing. How she brings Cara to life has made this such an enjoyable reading experience! I’m keen to finish it tonight if I have the time between work.
