First Lines Fridays

firstlinesfridays

Good Evening to some of you who are still in the Friday night timezone. I’m feeling a little bit better, but still not 100%. I just stayed in bed the whole day and took long naps and would wake up just to get some food in my tummy. I’m hoping to get a really good sleep tonight cause tomorrow is going to be a very long day. Visiting the boyfriend’s fam for lunch and then going to a friend’s party after… so there’s going to be a lot of eating and socializing. Anyway, just wanted to share the first few lines of what I’m currently reading right now so let’s get to it!

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?

Never remove a blade from a wound. Her mom’s warning cried through the howling wind. Could her spirit see Halen now — read her frantic thoughts? How else would her mom have known how desperately she wanted to let Dax sink to the ocean floor? He was a knife in her heart; if she let him go, death would follow.

Holding on tortured her worn muscles as she fought the waves from stealing his body from her grip. The unforgiving ocean shoved Dax forward, ramming his head into her jaw. Screaming, the salt water rushed between her lips, choking her breath. She was a siren — she wouldn’t drown, but it didn’t stop the ocean from trying to claim her.

Darkness is Calling

She sacrificed her soul to save the realms. Now Halen must face a life tethered to a curse. But can she accept a world without Asair and her sister? She has no clue where to find them and with an unconscious Guardian, it’s not as if she can travel far. As the days spin to months, and the elixir she so desperately needs to cast magick diminishes, Halen must learn to survive without her powers while drowning the evil whispers calling to her soul—a call she must never answer. Still, she fears, what if the mermaid’s twisted vision were true? Will the darkness consume her power before Natalie and Asair find her? Will she resist or ruin them all?

So, I really love this series. I actually just posted my reviews for the first two books. If you haven’t read it, I’ll link it down below. I had planned on reading this yesterday night, but as you know, I wasn’t feeling that well. I tried to read a little bit today, but that definitely did not work. Hoping I get to read this weekend cause I’m miss everyone already and I’m so excited to find out how the series ends.

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Could Reread Forever

toptentuesdays

Hello lovely bookish friends and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and has been moved to That Artsy Reader Girl since January 16, 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s topic for Top Ten Tuesday is Books I Could Reread Forever. There are so many books that I LOVE and would absolutely enjoy reading again. I actually haven’t been rereading lately since I’m drowning in my TBR, but if I had all the time in the world, these are the 10 books I would pick to reread forever. They’re also the 10 books I would most likely take with me if there was ever a zombie apocalypse or any end of the world disaster kind of thing.


 

Listed in the no particular order

 

 

  1. Winter by Marissa Meyer – Absolutely wild, incredibly thrilling, and wonderfully crafted conclusion to an amazing fairy tale retelling that will leave you breathless.
  2. The One by Kiera Cass – Swoony and adorable romance. Oh and Maxon is just so dreamy and lovable!
  3. Forever Doon by Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp – Timeless, fun, exciting, and magically swoony from beginning to end
  4. The Midnight Star by Marie Lu – A fun twisted emotional roller coaster that will have you on edge the entire time.
  5. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover – All the FEELS!! Painfully beautiful and incredibly emotional in the best way possible.
  6. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi – One word – WARNER
  7. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks – The perfect romance story that will make you believe in true love.
  8. Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout – Absolutely exciting, deliciously steamy and swoony love story that will make you smile, laugh, cry, and aww.
  9. P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han – Cutesy, Adorable and Sweet YA romance that will make your heart full of happy.
  10. Where I Found You by Heidi R. Kling – Wonderfully aching and excruciating beautiful story about hope, forgiveness, and love. It’s sweet, healing, fascinating, and inspirational from beginning to end.
