February 6th's Friday Post

It's Friday!  Time for another Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:

Book Beginning
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, I'll be pulling quotes for the first three from Burdened Bloodline by Sarah E. Burr.

This is book seven in her Court of Mystery series.  It's a bit different since it is set on a fictitious continent and feels a bit like a fantasy series, although there are no fantasy elements.

Anyway, here's how this book begins:

Someone tried to kill me.

That will get your attention, right?

Meanwhile, at 56% into the book, we find this exchange:

“Greetings, Duchess. Are you feeling all right?”
“I’m fine,” Jax said, moving closer to the court physician. “I actually wanted to speak with you about a strange episode I witnessed the Duke having this morning.”
Lenora’s amber eyes widened. “Episode? What do you mean?”

What does she mean?  I'll let you to find out yourself.  But my review will be up Wednesday next week, so I hope you stop by to see what I thought.

For now, let's move on to the Book Blogger Hop.  This week's question is:

What drives you to read books? 

That's a really good question.  It's been part of who I am for so long, I had to think about it for a minute.

Ultimately, I think it goes back to I have always enjoyed a good story well told.  I love escaping into a new world and getting caught up in twists and turns with characters I love.  I'm always looking for that, and I've found it with so many great authors, so I keep going back to their stories.

Have a super weekend!
