Hello!

I hope you are all having a good week so far. I am thoroughly enjoying the sunshine at the moment and hope it doesn’t disappear anytime soon.

What I am Currently Reading

I am really enjoying this book so far. Jennifer Saint is a definite auto buy author for me.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

Another fantastic book by Garth Nix. Review will be posted soon.

What I Think I will Read Next

I will be starting my 20 Books of Summer Challenge on the 1st June so my reading will be a little more structured than usual so hopefully it will be one of these books that I read next.

Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

First Lines Friday: 19/05/2023

First Lines Fridays is 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?

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!

Hello and Happy Friday!

Firstly, apologies for my tardiness on the blog this week. I’m not entirely sure where the week has gone and it is showing me I must get organised and get back into scheduling my blog posts.

I am actually starting a new book on a Friday for a change which never seems to happen anymore so I thought I would take part in First Lines Friday.

As per usual the answer is below the Lyra photos.

When I was born, they left me on a hillside. The king had given his decree – if it’s a girl, expose her on the mountain – and so some unfortunate soul was dispatched from the palace with this unwanted scrap of humanity: a baby girl instead of the glorious heir the king desired.
Get guessing!

And the answer is….

When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.

Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.

Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason’s band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

Did anybody guess correctly?

Please drop me a comment with your First Line Friday and I will head over for a visit.

I have a new system for making sure The Count of Monte Cristo doesn’t get neglected. I now read one book during the day and The Count of Monte Cristo is my read before bed, I might only be reading a few pages a night but at least I am progressing.

I wasn’t too impressed with The Power and the Glory but I absolutely loved The Left-Handed Booksellers of London.

I have these 4 books lined up for this month as I need some shorter reads whilst working.

I finished both of these this week and really enjoyed them both. Reviews will follow shortly.

Hello!

I hope everyone is well and having a good week so far. I have really managed to push forward on my reading this week but I’m still running behind on my book reviews sadly.

What I am Currently Reading

I started this a couple of days ago and so far I am really enjoying it. I love Haynes’ portrayal of Zeus because it is how I have always imagined him.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I have finally finished it! If I hadn’t been so distracted by other things I would have soon had this book finished but sadly my focus just wasn’t there until this week.

I’m aiming for shorter books for the rest of this month because I hope to make headway with The Count of Monte Cristo as well.
