Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [231]

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 spending my Sunday in bed with Promise of Darkness. This paranormal romance fulfils one of two unfinished prompts in my Orilium Spring Equinox semester! I’m hoping to finish it by tonight so I can get my final read done by Tuesday. It’s been a tough reading month! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

#FirstLinesFriday: 26 April 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 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:

“The monster has been here. I can smell him.
His stench is part the acrid sweat of exertion, part the meaty ripeness of a carnivore’s unwashed flesh, and part something else I can’t quite name. It fouls the evening air, stretching beyond smell to something deeper, more base. It unsettles me, sets my own instincts howling in warning.”

I’m spending my Sunday in bed with Song of the Six Realms. I’m reading this for my tour stop next week. I’m only about four chapters in but I’m enjoying it so far and curious to see where the story goes! I enjoyed Lin’s debut so I’m hoping to feel the same way about this one.

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

This week’s topic is actually Characters Iโ€™d Like to go on Vacation With (Pretend youโ€™re going on vacation and can bring 10 of your closest friends with you.

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [229]

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 spent a good chunk of my Sunday with The First Binding and I’m happy to say that it has slowly but surely started to pick up!

But I’ll be spending my Sunday night in bed with Trail of Lightning. I’m buddy reading this with Becky and it’ll be a re-read for both of us before we go into the second book in the series! I’m excited because I remember loving this when I first read itโ€”I’m hoping that feeling remains on re-read.
