What Are You Reading Wednesdays: January 25, 2017

What Are You Reading Wednesdays #WAYRW is a weekly feature on It’s A Reading Thing. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Grab the book you are currently reading and answer three questions:

  1. What’s the name of your current read?
  2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a couple of sentences.
  3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?

  1. The Singer of All Songs
  2. Calwyn felt suddenly very solemn and serious. Usually during lessons and lectures she felt only a fierce desire to be elsewhere or an irresistible urge to fidget, but now she sat as still as a statue, sensing that what Marna was about to tell her was more important, and certainly more interesting, than herb lore or weaving patterns.
  3. I think I might, but only if I could be just a regular little background character doing my own thing, just enjoying my magic, while they went on the dangerous adventures.

Calwyn stopped in her tracks, and her song faltered on her lips. For the space of a heartbeat she thought she must be dreaming; the steady chantment she’d been singing without pause since dawn jerked almost into silence.

Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker, the weekly Meme that wants you to add books to your TBR, or just share what you are currently reading. It is very easy to play along:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! Everyone loves Teaser Tuesday.

The Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy

I’m seriously about to stab someone right now…

I bought these two books (part of a series I’d never read and they just looked interesting) from Recycled Books last Thursday, because I had a massive credit account and needed new books to read.

Well I finished them.

FUCKING ASDFGHJKLFGHA;LSDFGHJK;LKJFYI

*sob*

That is not how you fucking end a book KATE CONSTABLE you fucking Australian BITCH I’m going to come to your house and punch you in the fucking face!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously have no words… At first I was actually forming coherent sentences, but now my ranting has deteriorated into meaningless irritated sounds punctuated by punches that Robert is bad at dodging…

I googled the FUCKING BITCH who wrote the books and it turns out it’s a trilogy (The Singer of All Songs, The Waterless Sea, and The Tenth Power), which is lucky for her because I already told Robert, there better be another fucking book or I’m going to beat her up and then lock her in a room and force her to write another one with a DECENT FUCKING ENDING!

But now the problem is: HOW THE HELL DO I GET THE THIRD BOOK!?!?!?!?

I bought all the ones Recycled Books had, that’s why I had two of them. And there’s no way I could afford to order a new one online or something… And Barnes & Noble is so out of my price range that I don’t even bother to go in there anymore because it’s just depressing…

FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK GOD DAMMIT I HATE MY LIFE SO MUCH RIGHT NOW AND I NEED THAT FUCKING BOOK NNOOOOWWWWWW
