Weekend Blog Hops - 29 September 2017

http://www.coffeeaddictedwriter.com/2017/01/book-blogger-hop-january-13th-19th.html

Have you ever slept with a favorite, beloved book under your pillow, or cradled in your arms?
No. Although I do most of my reading in bed, I always pop the book (or e-reader) onto the bedside table before I turn off the light.

Opening sentence:
The world spun tighter on its axis when the Kovrovs came to visit.






From page 56:
He was overdressed, buzzing with his parents warnings and admonitions, but it was a gorgeous day, and he got out of his head watching it.



My Current Read 
The Uncrossing
Melissa Eastlake


Luke can uncross almost any curse—they unravel themselves for him like no one else. So working for the Kovrovs, one of the families controlling all the magic in New York, is exciting and dangerous, especially when he encounters the first curse he can't break. And it involves Jeremy, the beloved, sheltered prince of the Kovrov family—the one boy he absolutely shouldn't be falling for.

Jeremy's been in love with cocky, talented Luke since they were kids. But from their first kiss, something's missing. Jeremy's family keeps generations of deadly secrets, forcing him to choose between love and loyalty. As Luke fights to break the curse, a magical, citywide war starts crackling, and it's tied to Jeremy.

This might be the one curse Luke can't uncross. If true love's kiss fails, what's left for him and Jeremy?

    This sounds so good, I hope you enjoy it. I'm reading The Scandal by Fredrik Backman today.

    I really like the first line. I would keep reading.

    Is it told from both points of view?

      Yes. I'm only just starting it, but it appears to be dual POV.

    I like the sound of this one. Magic and romance will draw me in every time. I hope you enjoy this one!

    I'm like you when it comes to reading in bed. I generally put my book or e-reader on my nightstand before falling asleep.

      I'd be too worried about creasing the cover or pages to keep it in bed with me! :)

    (I deleted my previous comment because of typos. GRRR!)

    You know, now that I'm an adult, I make sure to put a book I've been reading in bed on my night table before nodding off. But when I was a kid, and really LOVED a book, I would intentionally sleep with it in my arms. Lol.

    That book you're reading has a GORGEOUS cover! Hope you're enjoying it!

    Thanks for commenting on my BBH post!! Have a WONDERFUL weekend!! <3 :)
