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 with Last of the Talons by Sophie Kim. This is an overdue ARC that I had previously tried reading but couldn’t get into. I picked it up on the plane ride back to Jakarta and made decent progress! It’s interesting. I can’t figure out if it’s really YA or not cos it doesn’t necessarily read like it!

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed (hopefully) finishing The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot. This is a pretty sad book and since I’ve (for some reason) been feeling a little more emo than usual lately, it has worked its way deep into my feelings and made me weepy a couple of times. 😂 I’m loving it though!

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:

Fingers of mist curled around Bastien’s father as he walked away from his only child. The boy lifted up on his knees in their stalled handcart. “Where are you going, Papa?”
His father didn’t answer. The light of the full moon shone on Lucien’s chestnut hair, and the mist swallowed him from sight.”

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night finishing Fiona and the Enigmatic Earl. I’ve been seeing Grace Callaway given so much love from the beginning of this year and I can see why. I’m obsessed with the series that I’m currently reading. It’s sexy, smart, funny and I *love* it! 😍

I’ll spend my Sunday night at the airport with Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands. Tbh, I have been the worst buddy reader because I haven’t been reading at all cos I’ve been procrastinating packing since yesterday morning!

First lines:

“The foot would not fit in my briefcase, so I wrapped it in cloth and wrestled it into an old knapsack I sometimes carry with me on expeditions. Surprisingly—or perhaps unsurprisingly, as it is a faerie foot—it is neither dirty nor foul-smelling.”
