Jenn Reese’s Above World is a compelling Middle Grade read. I like both protagonists, and I am worried about their continued health and safety. In order to save their people, they are willing to take dangerous risks even the adults of their city refused to undertake. So far, they are not having an easy time, either!
| Aluna scowled at the mention of etiquette, but didn’t fuss. She’d put up with far more than social humiliation in order to train with the hunters back home. Warrior training! Suddenly, being a prisoner didn’t seem like such a bad fate after all. |
I love Greek mythology, so I had an attack of giddy anticipation when I saw that Madeline Miller wrote a book about Achilles and Patroclus. I love these characters, and could hardly wait to dive into the book. I only just started it, but I am already hooked. (The picture is from the UK cover – I like that one better than the US version)
| I waited for him to make a joke out of it, some witty jape about my disgrace. He did not. Perhaps, I thought, he is too stupid to. He rolled onto his side to face me. A stray lock of gold fell half into his eyes; he blew it away. “My name is Achilles.” |
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Both teases are great. I esp like the first one. I’ll have to check that out!
