This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
What's your favourite bookish accessory that's NOT a book? (submitted by Angelica @ Paperback Princess)
My Answer:
If Kindle is considered a book and not accessory, then I guess I have none. I love reading and I do not need some special lamp, bookmark etc. to enjoy the reading. I do read everywhere and in different circumstances.
Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Gillion Dumas of Rose City Reader. A weekly meme where readers share the first sentence of the book they are reading and say what they think.  |

The sleeping woman will feel nothing the next morning, only a vague sense of unease and the unshakable feeling that someone is watching her.My 56:
We ate and slept in the big building. Between five and six hundred people had bled out in there, but the floor and walls had been bleached and the cots they died on had been burned. It still smelled faintly of the Pestilence (a little like soured milk), and the bleach hadn't removed all the bloodstains. There were patterns of tiny spots covering the walls and long, sickle-shaped stains on the floor. It was like living in a 3-D abstract painting.Outline: I literally know nothing about the book, and I am actually hooked by the beginning and 56 quote. It might be disappointing in the end but for now I am up to it.
I didn't know what to answer, too, for the BBH and at the end I said my reading list in my planner... but even bookmarks that I didn't think about until I read the other answers... but I don't use them with my ereader, too... I do have a big collection, though... :D
ReplyDeleteI need to check other answers as well))
Deletereally spooky! what's going on here?? My post is here: https://francebooktours.com/2019/02/05/first-chapter-first-paragraph-the-first-noel-at-the-villa-des-violettes/
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit gloomy it was))
DeleteI read the entire series and saw the first movie on TV. LOVED it and I hope you do too.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental Friday Memes
Oh, I did not know there is a movie. Will check it as soon as possible
DeleteThis one has been on my wishlist for a while. I hope you enjoy it. This week I am spotlighting Connections in Death by J. D. Robb. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI read it within 2 days and quite liked it.
DeleteI loved/hated the Fifth Wave. It made me afraid that aliens would actually do what it says in the book. My quotes
ReplyDeleteThat's the scariest thing - reality, right?
DeleteThis book has been on TBR pile for awhile and I somehow completely forgot about it. Those snippets are really making me want to dig through my pile and find it. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI believe it is worth a try, disregard the negative review and check for yourself))
DeleteI wasn't sure if my Kindle counted, but I would have to agree! All those books at my fingertips in such a small device . . .
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the Fifth Wave, but I do want to. I hope you really like it.
Have a great weekend!
I cannot imagine my reading life without Kindle))
DeleteThe 5th Wave is a book I have had wishlisted for like forever now.... I should get a copy soon. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI took it from library, for me it was a one time read.
DeleteThat second quote makes me faintly nauseous, so maybe not the book for me.
ReplyDeleteYes it was not such a pleasant read.
DeleteI liked this one. I hope you do too:)
ReplyDeleteMy Friday 56 from Silver River Secrets
I did, but not so sure about continuing the series.
DeleteOn the book blogger hop -- I think the Kindle tablet/e-reader counts! As The Literary Feline so cleverly stated - it is an 'accessory' that houses virtual books!
ReplyDeleteOn the beginning of The 5th Wave -- sounds really creepy and I am going to find that book!
Hope you will enjoy it as I did.
DeleteI really enjoyed this series. Happy reading. :)
