2010 Reading Challenge - week 11

So this week I finished 4 books. I was trying for a couple more, but I'm still ahead of schedule for my target of 160.

They were:

  • Pasadena Promises by Rachel Druten (3 in 1; the first time I've read anything by this author)
  • Screen Play by Chris Coppernoll
  • Brides of the Empire by Darlene Mindrup (3 in 1; the first time I've read anything by this author too)
  • The Raven Saint by M L Tyndall (book 3 in the Charlestowne Belles series)

And I'm reading:

  • More Precious Than Silver by Joni Eareckson Tada (in case you're wondering why this is still on this list, it's a year-long daily devotional book)
  • Embrace Grace by Liz Curtis Higgs (2 chapters to go)
  • Only Nuns Change Habits Overnight
  • Virginia Weddings by Lauralee Bliss (3 in 1, and I'm currently reading the 3rd)

So that takes me to 49 outof 160.

Teaser Tuesdays - March 16


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!

Edge of Destiny by Darlene Mindrup (Book 2 in Brides of the Empire)

'Decimus Antigonus stood on the edge of the milling crowd and felt his stomach coil with revulsion. As large as the city of Rome was, how had he managed to be at this particular spot during this moment of time? Would that he were anywhere else in this whole stinking city.'

These are, in fact, the opening lines of the story.
