Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [210]

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 wrapping up my Sunday in bed with The Roses of May. This is a thriller I’ve been meaning to continue for ages after discovering the first book quite by accident several years ago. My current mood is screaming romance but this thriller somehow seems to be working for me and I’m hooked!

#FirstLinesFriday: 17 November 2023

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:

“The trees were full of crows and the woods were full of madmen. The pit was full of bones and her hands were full of wires.”

Sundays in Bed With… #MyWeeklyWrapUp [209]

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 curled up reading in bed with or which book you wish you had time to read today!

I had a lazy Sunday morning in bed with Symphony for a Deadly Throne. This is the final book in the Mousai series which I started last week and quickly devoured. I have a feeling I’m gonna struggle with this sister’s book though! It’s giving peak angst in every respect and eh… I don’t know if I’m here for it. 😕

First lines:

“When throwing knives across a crowded tavern in the Thief Kingdom, you were one of two things: an excellent marksman with everything to gain, or a poor marksman with nothing to lose.
Whether you were the former or the latter, you were most certainly a fool.
Niya Bassette happened to admire foolishness.”

At this point, I’m kind of stuck on what to read. I’ve not been reading books with much substance this past week but I’ve enjoyed those erotic romance journeys. But I’m not sure if I want to continue on it. I tried picking up a paranormal romance and a fantasy romance but they didn’t click. Here are some titles I’m thinking about maybe trying next:
