Book Beginnings is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.
I had a bit of a shock when Empire of the Vampire turned up and I saw how chunky it was. I can see why lots of people didn't get round to it. Once I decided to tackle it, I did enjoy it, though it could have been shorter!
ReplyDeleteI read and enjoyed The Holiday Swap..I thought it'd be the opposite. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/2022-resolutions-and-goals/
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed The Holiday Swap, it was a super fun read. And I have The Library on my TBR as well.

The Library is one I'm hoping to finally read this year. It looks like a very fun book. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually love Jodi Picoult books, but the latest one is one I'm probably going to steer clear of for a while, fiction is my escape from the pandemic, don't want to read about it there too!

I need to get to the Picoult book at some point, too. *Sigh* So many books, so little time...
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

I read the Jodi Picoult book, but didn't enjoy it very much -- just much too soon for a book so heavily about COVID. I did really like Under the Whispering Door!
ReplyDeleteI just couldn’t get into The Holiday Swap. But On a Night Like This looks great. :)

Happy TTT!
