Friday Reads 12th August 2016

Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading! 

The Star-Touched Queen (The Star-Touched Queen, #1)
Book Beginning:
"Staring at the sky in Bharata was like exchanging a secret."

Friday 56:
""Keep some secrets to yourself, girl," she said quietly. 
Not to worry, I wanted to say. Soon, only the ground will know my secrets."

So many secrets! I actually haven't reached page 56 yet so not sure what's going on in that scene but I am enjoying it so far. The writing is very dreamlike and beautiful and I am liking Maya as a character. The setting is amazing and I am looking forward to seeing where the story goes. 

You can also find us on Goodreads (Ann and Clare) to keep up with what we are reading

      There were such a lot of secrets, it was a general theme of the book!

    It looks like it would have a great setting! And I like that first quote.

      I loved the whole first paragraph, it was very beautiful and evocative - but it would have taken a while to type out! The setting was beautiful.

    I've heard a lot of good things about The Star Touched Queen. It sounds like a book I would enjoy.

      Oh I forgot to mention it, but I tagged you and Ann in the Netflix and Books tag on my blog here! I'm a relatively new follower of your blog, so if you don't do tags here I completely understand!! Happy Reading! :D
