Third Sentence Thursday Update

Third Sentence ThursdayNo, it is not Thursday yet! The week did NOT fly by on you! ;-) I just wanted to make you all aware that, starting this week, TST will have a guest host. June is my Authors from A to Z event, and that’ll keep me busy. I decided to ease up the pressure and get some help. So, HUGE thank you to Louisa at Words I Write Crazy for agreeing to step up! :-) So, starting this Thursday, May 24, please head over there for TST! I am planning to pick it back up on July 5.

Third Sentence Thursday: Dreamless

Third Sentence Thursday
Welcome to this week’s edition of Third Sentence Thursday! :-) As a heads-up, starting next week TST will be on hiatus (unless I can get a guest host) until after my Authors from A to Z event in June.

Rules:

  1. Take the book you are currently reading and open it to a random page. Share the third full sentence on that page. (If there isn’t a third one – like at the end of a chapter or a blank page – you can share the third sentence of the book or just choose another random page.) Feel free to share more than one sentence, if you feel the need to do so.
  2. Share your thoughts, if any, on the sentence.
  3. Post a link to your blog post in the link list below. Don’t forget to link back here, too! (There is a button in the sidebar to the right.) If you don’t have a blog, just leave it in the comments here.
  4. Be social! Visit one or two of the other blogs to check out their third sentence(s).

DreamlessHere’s Mine:

And, besides, what could Orion do to stop her from dying, anyway? ~page 262 in Dreamless (ARC) by Josephine Angelini

I’m thinking someone might be thinking she’s dying. I’m guessing that someone is Helen. I’m looking forward to finding out exactly what’s going on! :-)

Your turn!

First Lord's FuryHere’s mine:

Then the Queen went still again. ~ page 78 in First Lord’s Fury by Jim Butcher

I’m starting this book after I write up this post, and I cannot wait. This is the final book in Butcher’s Codex Alera series, and I’ve been looking forward to reading this for a few weeks now! I had to get this posted before I got started, because I don’t know when I’ll come up for air! ;-)

About this line, it could be ominous, but I don’t think it is in this case. Why don’t I think so? Well, this is the Vord queen, and what little else I skimmed off the page leads me to believe that it’s not. I could be wrong, though – wouldn’t mind being wrong! Hopefully I’ll find out soon! ;-)

Let’s see what you’re reading!

Kill Me SoftlyHere’s mine:

They sat at an outdoor table at Gingerbread House, the cafe where she’d thrown the knife at him. ~ page 90 in Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross

I would say this is definitely an attention-grabber. This is from a fun story based on fairy tales. It reminds me of ABC’s new show, Once Upon a Time, in that it incorporates pretty much all fairy tales. The cool thing is that this is a completely new take on them – and while it reminds me of the show it’s not really all that similar, plot-wise, anyway. It’s unique, and I’m really enjoying it.

Your turn!

What She Left BehindHere’s mine:

When I’m at school, it’s different. I hang out with Zach, sneak Ritz Bits crackers during class, and read horror novels in history. I like horror because it puts things in perspective. ~ What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen

These are sentences 3 through 5 in the book. I haven’t quite started it, but plan to today. And I gotta say. I wonder about how horror puts things in perspective. What kinds of things? Perhaps it makes her feel better about her own life? I’m looking forward to finding out.

So, let’s see your sentences! :-)

Third Sentence Thursday: Princeps’ Fury

My apologies for being a tad late with this. The husband is out of town this week, which makes for craziness at home.

Princeps' FuryHere’s Mine:

“Suddenly,” Max said, ” I feel very small. And as though I have been somewhat arrogant.”

“Um,” Crassus said. He swallowed and cleared his throat. “Yes.” ~ page 135 in Princeps’ Fury by Jim Butcher

The third line actually is “Um,” Crassus said. I figured a bit more would be better. And I couldn’t end on that, either. I had to show the whole exchange! :-) I love Butcher’s writing. Love it. I just finished this book last night. Fabulous.

Again, I’m sorry for being late today. Life gets in the way sometimes! ;-)

Titanic 2012Here’s mine:

When the crowd spotted Harlan, they cheered en masse, a happy, lusty sound of those who’d completed a job well done. No doubt they’d also heard my friend had paid his bill in full. ~ page 60 in Titanic 2012 by Bill Walker

The new Titanic is about to be unveiled, and everyone’s excited – to say the least. I’m just getting into this one, but look for my review on Saturday.

Now, before you go, remember that you can get an entry into my 2nd Blogoversary Giveaway by participating and linking up (see the post for details). I also currently have two other giveaways running:
