This book meme is hosted by Yvonne: book bloggers share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book you are reading or thinking about reading soon. This week’s excerpt is from A Curse so Dark and Lonely.
First Chapter:
“There is blood under my fingernails. I wonder how many of my people I’ve killed this time.
I thrust my hands into the barrel beside the stables. The ice-cold water bites at my skin, but the blood clings. I shouldn’t bother, because it will all be gone in an hour anyway, but I hate this. The blood. The not knowing.”
I’ve been post-poning this read for a week now. I don’t want to be disappointed, and frankly, I want something that is quick to read. I think I’d end up reading this slowly– the writing sounds amazing!
