June 5th's Friday Post

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

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

The teasers for the first three will be coming from Crown of Chaos by Sarah E. Burr.

This is book nine in a series that takes place on a fictional continent.  The main character is a ruler of one of the countries.  Yes, there are murders (this is me), but there's also political intrigue, especially as the series progresses.

With all that said, let's take a look at how this book begins.

The snap echoed all around, reverberating off the trunks of frost-covered trees. Duchess Jacqueline Arienta Xavier tightened her grip on the leather reins, her anxious gaze darting to the Captain of the Ducal Guard. “What was that?” Her voice was a harsh whisper.

That certainly draws you in right away, doesn't it?

Meanwhile, at 56% into the ebook, we find this quote:

Jax chewed on her lower lip, hesitant to share another theory she had been forming. But if anyone would support her, it would be Perry.

Was it a good theory?  I'll leave it for you to find out.  I really enjoyed this book in the series.  Assuming I get my review written, I'll be reviewing it this coming week.  The exact date is yet to be determined.

So, let's move over to the Book Blogger Hop.  This week's question is:

What’s the quirkiest or most unexpected place you’ve ever read a book, and why?

As I've shared on here I've read in line in amusements parks.  What else am I supposed to do while waiting in line by myself?  It helps pass the time and is productive.  I've also been known to read on my lunch hour in my car.  The passenger seat, of course.  I don't want to fight the pedals in the driver's seat.  I can't think of any other unusual places I've read.

That's it for me.  Have a great weekend!
