The Friday 56 - These Broken Stars



"She considers the question, then nods, reaching up to tuck her hair back where it belongs.  "Where will I sit?"
Sit?  Why on this comfortable chaise lounge I've carried here for you in my pocket, Your Highness, so glad you asked.  I clamp my mouth shut, struggling not to say it aloud." - These Broken Stars, page 56, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and you can find out more information in her post here.

I've only recently picked up this book, and I'm finding it a little slow to start - perhaps due to the fact that I'm reading Crown of Midnight at the same time.  It has it's moments (like the one I've quoted above) though, so I'm hoping I'll be more drawn into it when I can dedicate some undistracted time to it.

    Ahahah, I love that quote! Tell me how you end up liking this book~ I swear, the reviews are SO. MIXED. Some of my most respected bloggers have totally opposing views, so I'm hesitant to pick it up.

      Me too! I will let you know. I know right! My Goodreads friends either rated it really high or really low.

    I'm planning on reading this book in November because everyone keeps me telling to do so since my last Top Ten Tuesday hahaha so I made up my mind. But I'll love to know your thoughts once you are done with it =)

    Grinned over this one:) I don't think I'll be reading it but you never know. Mixed reviews sometimes makes me want to read the book to see why.

    Gorgeous cover! I've had trouble getting into fantasy (is this fantasy?) so this may not be a good book for me. I hope you enjoy it.

      I know, it's so pretty! It's more of a sci-fi, but yes - so maybe it isn't a book you would enjoy. I hope I do too! :)
      Thanks for leaving your link, I'll go check it out now.
