So this is how "Whatcha Reading Wednesdays" works
You grab the book you are currently reading, open it to a TOTALLY RANDOM page and then go to a random place on the page and select two full sentences. Then leave a comment with just the two sentences, the page number, title and author of the book. If it is a spoiler at all be sure to put **Spoiler Alert** at the top of your comment (like if the selection announces the death of an integral character or something). But I really doubt that two sentences on a random page are going to give away the plot - =). This is supposed to fun and enlightening and I really hope you guys do this!
Here is mine for this week:
Emerson had its very own nurse who gave the three of us ear and eye ecams, out first ever. I aced the tests - "Eagle eyes and elephant ears" the nurse said - but Lori struggled trying to read the eye chart.
page 95 The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
I don't think I could post two lines from the book I am reading right now! LOL Everyone would be going what??? I am almost finished with P.C. Cast's Divine by Mistake. Definitely not a teen book. Or at least not one I would consider letting anyone under 17 read!
ReplyDeleteWell quote or not, I am totally intrigued! I am adding this book to my wishlist. Thanks for sharing Brandi!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to post two lines of what I'm reading, but I can't randomly pick a page on here. But, I'm in the middle of Vanish by Tom Pawlik.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I'm playing! :-)
ReplyDelete"The collar to his shirt opened in a manner unlike him. He usually took such care with his attire."
From the soon-to-be-published The Emerald Storm by Michael J. Sullivan. I cannot give a page number, as I'm sure it'll change between now and publishing, but it's on the first page of Chapter 13.
So, am I allowed to do this on my blog next week? Please - I have a few bookworms reading my blog who I know would play along!
Ham - great post and way to really tease us with an ARC! Of course you can put it on your blog next week - in fact I would love it if you come back with a link so we can see what your readers add!
ReplyDelete:-) I'm glad to tease - in this particular instance! ;-) This is the fourth book in a series, but each book is meant to stand alone. Having read all of the previous ones, I can't vouch for how well it'll work as a stand-alone title, but the whole series (the first of which is called The Crown Conspiracy) is EXCELLENT!
ReplyDeleteI will TRY to remember to do this on Wednesday! LOL That's half the battle - not forgetting when "real life" gets in the way! ;-)
Oh, yes, I'll definitely post a link. May I use your graphic?
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI will try to remember to join next wed.
Have you thought of adding a mclinky?
Audrey - what a great idea. I don't know that much about them - I mean I post in them all the time but I haven't ever put one on my blog. I am going to look into it. Hopefully I can figure it out by next week.
ReplyDeleteAudrey ~ MckLinky is VERY easy to use. If you need help, shoot me an e-mail ham1299(at)gmail(dot)com and I can help. :-)
ReplyDeleteOk I think I have it all set up. So please come back next week to participate! Thanks for the idea ladies. I will also have code for the button available.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I can't wait! :-)
