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!
Finally, finally I'm getting to read Heir of Fire this week and in case there's someone that hasn't got to read the book and need a push on the right direction or someone that needs to be smacked for not having started the series yet... here it is!!
"Gods, it was boiling in this useless excuse for a kingdom."
What, do you want a bit more? Okay, okay...
"Or maybe it felt that way cause Celaena Sardothien had been lounging on the lip of the terra-cotta roof since midmorning, an arom flung over her eyes, slowly baking in the sun like the loaves of flatbread the city's poorest citizens left on their windowsills because they couldn't afford brick ovens."
What do you think? Would you want to know more?
What are you reading right now?
Ha - I remember how cranky she was in that opening. She hates the food and the weather and everything...
