What are you reading Wednesday – 9/9/15

What Are You Reading Wednesdays is a weekly meme hosted by It’s A Reading Thing. To participate, open the book you are currently reading to page 34 (or 34% in your ebook) and answer these three questions.

The Questions are:
1. What’s the name of your current read?

2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a complete sentence. (or two!)

3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?

Now for my answers this week…

1. I’m reading book #2 in the Grisha series – Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

2. I snatched at the Darkling’s sleeve. “We had a deal. I haven’t done anything. You said – ”
The Darkling looked at me with cool quartz eyes, and the words died on my lips.

3. I have mixed feelings about this one. I would not want to live under the Darkling’s power, but there are places in this world that might offer a peaceful, comfortable life if you could do without the modern conveniences we are used to.

Your turn! Now tell me what you are reading this week, or leave a link back to your post in the comments.

Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by fellow bloggers Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Every Friday they feature one or two bloggers and pose a question for other participating bloggers to answer. It’s a chance to find some new blogs to visit, and gain some new followers in return.

This week’s featured blog is Newbie Librarians – be sure to visit them and check out the feature on the hosts’ pages.

Now for the Question of the Week: Name a movie you would have loved to read as a book ( That is not a book already obviously) – Suggested by Go Book Yourself.

I would like to have read Jupiter Ascending. I was disappointed in the movie. It wasn’t bad, but I felt like it was lacking in detail and so I tried to find the novel afterwards, thinking it would have more depth. I learned that the movie was not based on a book!

This week’s question:

Share a random quote from the book you are currently reading.- Suggested by Journey Through Fiction. 

“It was one thing, she thought, to have a giant pumpkin–growing contest, but quite another to encourage people to transform their giant pumpkins into extremely unstable watercraft for a foolish and dangerous race across the cove. And worst of all, she thought, turning into her driveway and spying the enormous wooden structure that was taking shape in her backyard, was the pumpkin hurl, featuring homemade catapults.” – from Candy Corn Murder by Leslie Meier

1 – This week I have an advanced reading copy of House of Thieves by Charles Belfoure

Available September 15, 2015 from Sourcebooks Landmark

2 – When you present your calling card to the butler, Julia, you must wait to see if the lady of the house will receive you. If the butler tells you, “She’s not at home to callers”, that’s perfectly acceptable. Don’t take it as a slight.

3 – I love reading about 1880’s New York and the ins and outs of society, and I wouldn’t mind cruising around town in a horse drawn carriage. I don’t think I would want to stay forever though. I would miss too many modern conveniences, especially my air conditioning and my Keurig brewer…. 🙂
