Friday Linkups - A Dark and Twisting Path















It's Friday linkup time!  I'm linking up with the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice

This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
Have you ever had a bookish nocturnal dream?  If so, please share the story.  If not, have you ever had a daydream related to books?  If so, please tell us about it.

My Answer:
I don't think I've really had a bookish dream either waking or sleeping.  I do sometimes daydream about having more time to read or organizing all my books but not so much the story I'm reading.

This week I'm jumping into a series on book 3.  I've been wanting to read the Writer's Apprentice Mystery series since the very first book.  I love books about authors and the covers were just so amazing.  I haven't gotten to books 1 and 2 but this week I'm talking about book 3 - A Dark and Twisting Path by Julia Buckley.  So far I'm really it!

The Beginning: 
Victoria West, tragic and beautiful, spoke into the camera.

My Thoughts:
I wonder why she's so tragic - if it's real or just acting.

The 56:
It was the sort of place one couldn't imagine leaving.

My Thoughts:
There wasn't much going on on this page but I did like this sentence.  It could be really nice and peaceful or a bit ominous!

So what do you think?  Keep reading?

    Looks like a fun book. And I don't know if I've ever had a bookish dream- if I did I'd probably just forgt it anyway!

    Many years ago, I found myself dreaming a lot about the beginning series of JR Ward Brotherhood novels(lol) Other than that, pretty much no book dreaming. Hugs and Happy Friday!RO

    I've heard really good things about the series you started. Of course, I'd like to start with book #1 - wait, I might even own it. Ha!

    I'd love to read this. Sounds mysterious and such a lovely and captivating cover.

    I've been wanting to read this series, too. I might start with #3 as well. It really looks like my kind of cozy.

    This series is appealing to me, too. I bought the first book when it came out, but haven't gotten to it yet. I agree that the covers and titles are fabulous.

    I've had millions of dreams over the years and have forgotten most of them by now.

    This sounds like a fun series. I like books about authors too. I'd have to start with book 1 though. Mine is from The Point by John Dixon - a science fiction thriller from my review stack. Happy reading!

    Dude, I wanna know why she's tragic! I don't typically read cozy mysteries, but I might have to read this one just to find out why she's tragic.

    Have a great weekend. - Katie

    The Hunger Games gave me nightmares. Yes, I've had dreams based on books.

    I'm going to look up this series now.

    Sometimes when I can't sleep I think about favorite books and play favorite scenes in my head or imagine different storylines - kind of like a fan fiction movie in my head. It sounds silly but it does help me fall asleep when my mind won't shut off. I really like cozy mysteries and hope you continue to enjoy it. See what we are featuring at Girl Who Reads

    Short punchy sentences with plenty going on - I hope though, there are some longer, more flowing ones as well:)

    I don't know if I have bookish dreams or not. I rarely remember my dreams but I usually read before bed so I probably have. Enjoy your book!

    Thanks for always stopping by my blog, Katherine.

    I never dreamed of a book either.

    Have a great week.

    Having more time to read is DEFINITELY a GREAT daydream!! We bookworms never do seem to have enough time to indulge in our FAVORITE activity, right? LOL. Hope you DO find a way to have more reading time!

    I see you've added yet ANOTHER cozy to my "cozy mysteries" TBR on Goodreads!! LOL. I promise that, one of these days, I'll ACTUALLY read one! :) :)

    But seriously, that cover caught my eye RIGHT AWAY! So I'm adding this book to that list I just mentioned!! And I'm going to check out the previous ones in the series, as well!

    Btw, I LOVE that first sentence from the book: "Victoria West, tragic and beautiful, spoke into the camera." It looks like I REALLY will be reading this one! :)

    Thanks for commenting on my BBH post!! Hope you're having a GREAT Sunday!! <3 :)

    I missed this week's topic for BBH because I cannot for the life of me think of a bookish related dream... Have a great week!

    The only book dream I have ever had was that I became a muggle teacher of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts and Fred an George and their father were trying to hook up solar panels and an antenna so that I could have a television in my room. XD
