First Chapter, First Paragraph is one of the two memes that I will be alternating on Thursdays in place of my Ink & Batter posts during the summer, when I won't be baking due to the heat!
I discovered this meme via the ladies of My Shelf Confessions, and it is hosted on Tuesdays by Bibliophile by the Sea. But since I already have my blog tours posts and Tell Me Tuesdays, I thought that it'd work best on Thursdays for me!
The idea of this meme/feature is quite self-explanatory from its name, we share the first paragraph of the first chapter of our current read! Quite a good teaser for others to read and see if they'd be intrigued!
This week I'm sharing a bit of an ARC I got last week, that is on my list of ARC August! Thank you Jamie for it to sending me! I'm quite excited to see what all is coming for Renna!
"For someone who was supposed to be the best thief in the galaxy, Renna had been spending entirely too much time locked up lately.
Not that a high security hospital room in a secret MYTH base was much of a prison for her, but the IV line snaking from her arm might as well have been a pair of Saltani iron handcuffs. She swung her feet over the edge of the lumpy bed and watched the holoscreen on the far wall. Stats scrolled past, red text on the black background. Her vitals were stable, blood pressure was fine. Looking at her chart, she was the picture of health."
What do you think? Would you want to know more?
What are you reading right now?
I know you're a huge fan of this series Pili, I can't wait for your full review of this one. I loved Jamie's Ultraviolet Catastrophe, so I'm really looking forward to reading this series as well:) And yes, I definitely want to know more!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to read it this weekend!
DeleteThank you, Jenny!
Just from this one paragraph, I can tell that the worldbuilding is very intriguing! I know how much you liked Srar Thief, and I hope you're enjoying this one just as much. I promise to find time for both soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Maja! I hope you'll check them out and like them!
DeleteThank you for sharing that! I read The Star Thief back in April and was hooked. I love Renna, she's so saucy. I can't wait to see what happens next!!
ReplyDeleteEileen @ BookCatPin :)
So glad to hear you also loved The Star Thief! I cannot wait to continue reading this story!
DeleteYay :D Thank you for sharing sweetie. <3 Hope you are loving this book :) Seems interesting ;p
ReplyDeleteIt's a great sci-fi! Thank you dear!
DeleteI love the very first sentence in a book. I always read it 2-3 times and let it sink in. Is that weird? That's pretty weird eh? haah.But really a great start can make or break a book sometimes. It sets the mood and gives you expectations. This one is reeaaaly intriguing imo!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the beginning of a book can make or break the impression of it, Giselle!
DeleteLOL not very thief-like, eh? Thieves don't get caught! ;D
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Well, she didn't get caught exactly, you know... ;)
DeleteOhhhh I AM intrigued by this, Pili! That first sentence has me wondering how a good thief could go so wrong! Right now, I'm reading The Cure for Dreaming and it is WEIRD haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for The Cure for Dreaming! I cannot wait to hear what you think!
DeleteBest thief in the galaxy, huh? Intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a bunch of things at the moment, including I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN. :)
Wendy @ The Midnight Garden
Hmmm, I'm quite curious about that one, can't wait to see what you think!
DeleteSo I've been seeing this book around a LOT lately, and YES, that teaser definitely makes me want to learn more (b/c THIEF and GALAXY). I'm reading Shifting Shadows, the story collection from the Mercy Thompson universe, by Patricia Briggs, and I LOVE it.<-----Hooray for that!
ReplyDeleteHooray for loving books indeed! I cannot wait to hear what you think of the Star Thief series Jessica!
