HOBBIES OVER COFFEE

It’s Friday! And it’s time again to do some bookish Friday Meme’s.  

• Friday Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader :  You choose the book you are currently reading or the one that is closest to you and share the first few sentences.
• Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice : you simply turn to page 56 or 56% on your e-reader and share a sentence or two that you enjoy. Then just add maybe a synopsis about the book in case others are interested. That’s it! 

Book Beginnings :

I sing the city.

Fucking city. I stand on the rooftop of a building I don’t live in and spread my arms and tighten my middle and yell nonsense ululations at the construction site that blocks my view. I’m really singing to the cityscape beyond. The city’ll figure it out.

“Uh weren’t we just warning the keyholders about possible violence yesterday?” asks Jess.

“Yeah. But if there’s going to be violence, I’m better off with half a dozen people for backup than on my own.” Bronca shrugs. “It’ll be what it’ll be. Go home, ladies. I’m good – really.”

The book I chose for today’s friday book memes is N.K. Jemisin’s The City We Became.

Five New Yorkers must come together in order to defend their city in the first book of a stunning new series by Hugo award-winning and NYT bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She’s got five.

But every city also has a dark side. A roiling, ancient evil stirs beneath the earth, threatening to destroy the city and her five protectors unless they can come together and stop it once and for all. 

Has this book been on my TBR for forever? Yes. Am I finally getting around to reading it ? Yes! Honestly, N.K. Jemisin has become one of those authors I automatically consume what she writes because of past books I’ve read that I enjoyed. The summary alone elated me and now that I did these meme’s I can not wait get going on this story. I’ve been avoiding spoilers at all cost and am looking forward to spending my sweet time consuming this one.
