Book Beginnings - Friday, 18th February 2011

Hey guys!

So here is the book I have just started reading today:




Number of Pages -  327
Publisher  - HarperCollins

 
First Line - 

'The Summer King knelt before her 'Is this what you freely choose, to risk winter's chill'

So, this is a book that I have been looking forward to getting into for a long while now, although I have only recently bought copies of them for myself.  What this first line tells me that this book could be more fantasy faery world like than, say, the books I have just finished reading (reviews being posted soon) which are the Thirteen Treasures series.  Who is the Summer King and what is his importance to the story?  What comes to mind, in the first instance is maybe the Summer King is looking to get even with winter in some way?  I am not sure yet as I have only just started but I have a feeling this is going to be a good one...

Best Wishes

Book Beginnings - Friday, 11th February 2011

Hey guys! 

I hope you have all had a fantastic week and are all ready for the weekend.....   There are going to be some Immortals reviews coming up this weekend as I have finally finished the series (it was a bit of a struggle....)...  Here is the book that I have now started to read :


Water for Elephants: A Novel by Sara Gruen

Number of Pages - 331
Publisher - Hodder

First Line - 

'Only three people were left under the red and white awning of the grease joint; Grady, me and the fry cook.'

I was immediately hooked.  I already know the theme of the book and what it is based around but just reading these few words instantly tells me that this was a far bigger disaster than I originally thought...  It completely sucked me in and I immediately wanted to know more....

So far, this book is amazing from the way it has been written to the way the story switches from present day to the past...  I can't wait to finish this book and then watch the movie that is coming out this year...  It should be amazing....

Best Wishes

Book Beginnings - Another Late Friday Post

Hey guys,

Ok so I am very late at this one, sorry........ :-(    I have had the most manic week ever but I thought I would still do the post, better late than never lol!

This was originally hosted by the blog A Few More Pages....

The book I am reading at the moment is Night Star by Alyson Noel

Published by St Martin's Griffin

Number of Pages - 302

'You'll never beat me.  You'll never win this one.  Ever.  It's impossible.  You can't do it.  So why waste your time.'

I have to be honest and say that I am really struggling with this series but I do want to find out what happens next so I have continued with it...   I have to admit that when I got to this book I was already feeling a little deflated by this series and was not eagerly anticipating picking this one up to read it.  The first line to me summed up what the book was going to be all about.  Possibly the main character has to fight someone off, again, and fight for the love of the man she loves, when she can figure out who that might be....   I am not sure whether this prediction is true yet but it would be really interesting to see whether it does or not....

I hope you have enjoyed this post...

Best wishes
