Third Sentence Thursday (#2)

Third Sentence Thursday

Third Sentence Thursday is a meme hosted by book blogΒ That’s What She Read, where bloggers open the book they are currently reading to a random page and share the third full sentence with their blog readers.

* * *

It’s been another busy week this week where I found myself being accepted for a FT job! Yay exciting! It’s going to be tough as I’ve never had a FT job before, and with uni resuming in two weeks, I’m going to have to learn to balance this new schedule. As I’m moving forward in my career, I’ve also had to say goodbye to my current PT job along with all the wonderful people I work with. I’m so sad to leave (not the job), but all the friends I’ve made behind. I also had to leave my Bloomsbury internship in order to fit in this new job. πŸ™

Thus, it was another slow week in the reading department for me, so I’m back with TST (#2)!

This week’s featured book isΒ The Intern by Gabrielle Tozer! Yay for Aussie authors!

Uno:

I raised my right hand, too scared to speak. (p. 26)

Dos:

That was until Eloise, impressed by my writing earlier in the day, floated my name with Liani. (p. 73)

Tres:

“Umm…” My usual verbal diarrhoea was zapped and I had no idea what he was going to say. (p. 188)

So what do you think? Does the book sound exciting so far?

Third Sentence Thursday (#1)

Third Sentence Thursday

Third Sentence Thursday is a meme hosted by book blog That’s What She Read, where bloggers open the book they are currently reading to a random page and share the third full sentence with their blog readers.

So I’ve been in a reading slump this week as I’ve been busy working late nights and having no motivation to really read. When I get home, I just want to relax, and mostly just sleep. SO, while I don’t usually do memes (like hardly ever), I thought that rather than feel unmotivated in blogging as well, I’ll just do something different!

So the lucky book chosen of my first Third Sentence Thursday isΒ Tape by Steven Camden.

Here we go…choosing random page………now.

“She can hear her own breathing. The voices carry on and she creeps up the stairs, tiptoeing on the edge.” (p. 92)

And now.

“He moved to the top corner of the garden and tried to see through the crack where the fences met.” (p. 165)

And once more.

“-That’s stupid. Just deck him, Deano.” (p. 258)

So what did you think? Were the snippets interesting enough for you to pick up the book?
