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 the May The Force Read With You Readathon books that I've just finished, Thieftaker (Thieftaker Chronicles #1) by D.B. Jackson. So far this sounds like it's going to be a really cool historical fantasy novel set pre-American Revolution. Plus, just look at that cover art by Chris McGrath!
Beginning:
Boston, Province of Massachusetts Bay,
August 26, 1765
Ethan Kaille eased his knife from the leather sheath on his belt as he approached Griffin's Wharf, the words of a warding spell on his lips.
56:
"Don't you dare!" a voice warned, echoing off the ceiling and stone walls. "Not in this place!"
Are you taking part in this readathon? Have you read this book? What are you reading today? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commeting down below!
Thieftaker looks like an interesting story. I like the quotes too. Have a great weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was very solid. I hope you have a good one!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy!
DeleteNow I am curious! Great cover, too. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE NEXT WIFE”
ReplyDeleteThe whole series looks like it has great covers. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteThe cover is intriguing in and of itself--I am compelled to learn more.
ReplyDeleteFor sure! I hope you like it if you decide to pick it up.
DeleteI not sure I get a fix on your book from the quotes but I do like reading historical fiction. Thanks for dropping by my blog. I hope you do get a chance to read both of my books mentioned this week in different posts. Have you read Hank Green's first novel? Start there if not.
ReplyDeleteIt's historical fantasy which is one of my favorite genres. :)
DeleteI have read it and really enjoyed it, definitely looking forward to what's next.
These excerpts are intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThe story was pretty good on the whole as well.
Deletewow, historical fantasy novel set pre-American Revolution? sounds intriguing and unusual!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised I haven't seen more set in that time.
DeleteSounds so different!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Freda!
DeleteI don't think I've read a historical fantasy novel set pre-American Revolution. This sounds really interesting. I may have to give it a try myself. I hope you are enjoying it! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI was good and I'm looking forward continuing the series.
