I don’t wanna finish, and not for the reason I usually don’t wanna finish…
Like normally at this point I’m racing through the pages, desperate to know what’s coming even as I hate to find the end of the book. But this time I keep putting the book down and trying to think of something more interesting to do before picking it back up and making myself read again…

Thursday Quotables: February 2, 2017

This weekly feature is the place to highlight a great quote, line, or passage discovered during your reading each week; whether it’s something funny, startling, gut-wrenching, or just really beautifully written.

Its emptiness is more than the lack of living, breathing beings. It is the unread pages of the many books that reside on the shelves throughout the room I should hot have thought one could tell when books have gone unread, but after the company of Birchwood’s well-loved library it is as if I can hear these books whispering, their pages grasping and reaching for an audience.

Summary:

An ancient prophecy divides two sisters-

One good…

One evil…

Who will prevail?

Twin sisters Lia and Alice Milthorpe have just become orphans. They have also become enemies. As they discover their roles in a prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other, the girls find themselves entangled in a mystery that involves a tattoo-like mark, their parents’ deaths, a boy, a book, and a lifetime of secrets.

Lia and Alice don’t know whom they can trust.

They just know they can’t trust each other.

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?

  3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?

  1. Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
  2. There is no ladylike way to tell him to push all he wants, that his mouth and body on mine are the only things keeping me from losing my hold on a reality I never questioned until these past days.
  3. I mean, at this point it seems nice enough even with the weird mystery, so sure… But only if I can be one of the girls with powers!
