Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.
Synopsis from Goodreads...Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries!
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms - a struggle that could very well mean her death...
Beginning: "Kaye spun down the worn, gray planks of the boardwalk."
56: "A few hours later they were sitting on the curb outside the Wiz divvying up their loot."
Comments: I'm not currently reading anything, so I thought I would share a few quotes from one of my favorite books by Holly Black: Tithe. Its been a long time since I read Tithe. It might be time for a reread. The beginning comes from chapter 1 instead of the prologue. What are you reading this week?
Ooh Tithe sounds really good, I love those extracts.
ReplyDeleteI've only read The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, but I really enjoyed it so Tithe has gone on my TBR.

DeleteYou've piqued my interest. My first thought on seeing the title was that it must be church-related. But the excerpt shared, the mention of New Jersey, and the beautiful butterfly on the cover make me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteTithe is part of the Modern Faerie Tales series. So it's about faeries. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI'm definitely curious for more!! Happy weekend!

DeleteI've been really curious about this book. Good to hear that it's one of your favorites. I'll have to check it out. I love books featuring faeries. Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also a fan of books featuring faeries. I recently read The Unkindest Tide, part of the October Daye series, which reminded me a little of Holly Black's books. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
DeleteSounds intriguing. Happy reading!

DeleteI haven't seen this one before. Is this the same writer as The Cruel Prince?
ReplyDeleteHolly Black is also the author of The Cruel Prince. Tithe was released in 2002, and some of the characters from it also appear in The Cruel Prince. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI don't know why, but those two excerpts made me think of pirates. LOL I haven't yet read a Holly Black book, but I do want to. Tithe sounds good. I love reading about the fae. Have a great weekend!
