On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.
Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting one of my current Trope-ical Readathon books, Stain by A.G. Howard. It's been so long since I've read one of this author's books and I'm looking forward to it.
Beginning:
In one enchanted telling of old, a prince desperately seeks a princess to wed and rule by his side.
56:
None of it matter.
Are you participating in this readathon? Have you read this book? What are you reading this weekend? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down
OMG I adored 'Splintered' by A.H. Howard and had no idea she had another series... clearly I need to get myself to a library or a bookstore asap. I hope you have a lovely week and do drop by my Friday post if you have the time! - Juli @ A Universe in Words
ReplyDeleteShe's got a few standalones and what I've read they've been pretty good. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing, Juli.
Gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over, Catherine!
DeleteI read Howard years ago when I first started blogging but haven't picked up her books since. Hope you end up enjoying this!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, Tammy!
DeleteNow I am curious. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “EVERY VOW YOU BREAK”
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over and sharing!
DeleteGreat opening line!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Freda!
DeleteThe opening sentence followed by that teaser was startling! Enjoy your readathon!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Gilion!
DeleteThis author's books were very popular for a while in my library. Is this one part of a series? My selection this week is called Dragon Hoops
ReplyDeleteThis one is a standalone as it turns out. Thanks for sharing, Anne.
DeleteA re-telling of the Princess and the Pea with a bed of nails? I'm always intrigued when an author can drag some depth out of a simple children's fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy a clever retelling. :)
DeleteBeautiful cover and it sounds like a great book.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good!
DeleteI'm a big fan of this author. Still need to read this one, but I've loved everything I've read from her. Hope you enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley!
