Four Fun Friday Bookish memes - Join in!



Fridays are about sharing the first sentence(s) of a current book I'm reading and a snippet from page 56 or 56% on e-reader from the same book. Fun, right? And I'm joining the BBH (Blogger Hop) to answer this week's prompt. As always, everyone is welcome - hope to see you there and sharing first sentences.......


Today's Book is:




Currently Reading on my Kindle:

Tuyo #1 by Rachel Neumeier

Genre: Fantasy

Published 2020; 412 pages













First Sentence(s): "Beside the coals of the dying fire, within the trampled borders of our abandoned camp, surrounded by the great forest of the winter country, I waited for a terrible death."









At about 56% on the Kindle: "If I told him I had fallen into the power of a sorcerer, he would probably kill me. If I told him Aras was a sorcerer and that I wished to take him to my home, where I hoped to introduce him to my family, except sometimes I believed they were all dead ... if I told him that, he would certainly kill us both: Aras because he was a sorcerer and me because I was mad."




Today's Question: Did Santa bring you any books?

No books this year, but I did get a generous gift card to Half Priced Books so I'll be shopping soon!

Hope you'll join in one or all of these fun memes and take a minute to visit the other participants. I'm surprised how many times a first sentence can send me looking for a book.



Welcome to Bookshelf Journeys.

It's my goal to provide real reviews of the books I read without totally rehashing every plot. I'll never spoil a story by giving away a plot twist! Hopefully you'll find one or two of interest and will discover a new book or author to add to YOUR TBR list.  Take a moment to explore, read a couple reviews, and let me know what you think.

                            TIPS

For your convenience, I use #hashtags in the reviews and when you click on one, you'll find more books with that theme. Hopefully you'll find it a helpful way to navigate the site and find books you'll enjoy. I've also recently added tags that will show up at the end of each review that serve the same purpose.

The review ratings are based on a 5 star  (1/2 stars sometimes) system with a 3 being an average read for me. I hope you find that helpful. Knowing, of course, that all opinions are just that - my opinion!  Let me know if you agree or disagree - I'd love to hear from you.

If you like what you see and want to keep up with me, subscribe below.  Happy Reading!
