Musing Monday

Musing Mondays asks us to muse about one of the following topics found 

HERE at Should Be Reading… 

Dani's musing: • Describe one of your reading habits.

I have the habit of putting a book down when it doesn’t hold my attention, and starting a new one that I know will. Then, when I finish the better one, I will go back to the first one and finish it. I have only ever NOT finished two books. My current “go-back-to-book” is Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness. It’s an excellent book with TOO MUCH fluff. Get to the point already!!

Jax's musing: • Describe one of your reading habits.

I have books that, if I really love them, I'll read them again and again. Some of those books are The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, Blood Promise by Richelle Mead, Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, and the one I'm reading again at this moment is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

p. 446

Lindsay:

1. Will always dance, even when nobody else is, even when there's no music--in the cafeteria, in the bathroom, in the mall food court.

2. Toilet papered Todd Horton's house every single day for a week after he told everyone that Elody was a bad kisser.

Dani's teaser:

Flotsam and Jetsam by Carrie Ryan

E-book Loc 349 of 456

Harry grins and he drops his head toward me and all I can think about is how I had never wanted Harry to be my first kiss, and then before his lips can land on mine we hear it.

The siren.

Musing Mondays

Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following topics found HERE at Should Be Reading… 

**Dani's topic choice for MM:  Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.

Between the Lives by Jessica Shirvington

Blurb:

For as long as she can remember, Sabine has lived two lives. Every 24 hours she Shifts to her "other" life. She is exactly the same, but absolutely everything else is different. In one life she has a sister, in the other she does not. In one life she's a straight-A student with the perfect boyfriend, in the other she's considered a reckless delinquent. Nothing about her situation has ever changed, until the day when she discovers a glitch.

So far so good. I'm listening to the audiobook for it, and I’m loving the East Coast accent! Sabine is an entertaining and interesting character. I still have a ways to go, but I am really enjoying it so far. Jessica Shirvington’s writing is point on!

**Jax's topic choice for MM:  Maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

I don't understand how some ebooks are so pricey while others are reasonable. I've read the sample of this one book, and it seems great so far. The problem, besides some grammatical errors? The cost is $7.99 for this ebook. I know this is the author's lively hood, and it's their craft. I get it. But it bothers me that the price is that high, especially with errors in the first couple chapters. I'm sure some won't agree with me, and that's okay. I just feel if I'm asked to pay that much for an ebook, then errors shouldn't be sprinkled throughout the first few chapters, but it's just my opinion. 
Does cost play a part in your decision to purchase ebooks?

~ Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver p. 113

"He and Anna had been huddled over some grayish meat congealing in a plastic bowl, just like I'd expected them to be. Lindsay had wanted to go in and mess with them, but I'd threatened to puke on her new Steve Madden boots if we even caught a whiff of the nasty meat-and-onion smell inside."

Dani's teaser:

~ The Doll by J.C. Martin

"Oh no..." Having shaken off his earlier jitters, Harold the blob was ll bravado again. "Won't want any voodoo hexes stinking pins into me, would I?"

Jax's current read:

 

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Pg. 322

 

Cinder fell into her chair and whisked out a screwdriver. It was the most hurried fix she'd ever done, and the foot was even smaller and more uncomfortable than she'd remembered it, but soon she was on two feet again.

 

 

 

Dani's current read:

 

Sunrise by Mike Mullin

Pg. 254

 

“No!” I yelled. I pulled my right arm off the block.

The gladius flashed in a huge arc, and I watched in horror as Red severed my left hand just above the wrist.
