The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): A Demon In Silver (War of the Archons #1) by R.S. Ford

      On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by  Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books , 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  2025 Popsugar Reading Challenge  books,  A Demon in Silver  ( War of the Archons  #1) by R.S. Ford .  I've had this book sitting on my shelf for way too long and this sounds pretty good to me...

Sunday Funday: Six In Six 2025

Happy Sunday Funday everyone! Today, I'm sharing my Six In Six 2025.  I spotted it over on Jamie @ Keeper of the Wood Between Worlds and thought I'd give it a try myself.  I've seen it floating around for awhile, but I've never actually taken part myself until now.  Anyway, Six in Six is hosted by Jo @ The Book Jotter and it's a way to feature some of the books we’ve read in the first six months of the year (January-June). You choose six categories and then share six books to fit in each category. Jo's blog features a long list of categories you can choose from, or you can even create your own. Without further ado, here are my categories and my picks for each one: Six Covers I Love Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything by Justine Pucella Winans Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit ( Moribito #1) by Nahoko Uehashi The Tainted Cup ( Shadow of the Leviathan #1)   by Robert Jackson Bennett Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix Wildwood ...
