Weekend Blog Hops - 16 November 2018

It's the weekend once more. That means it's time for my book-blogger hopping.

Do you take notes about the book you are reading as you read?
No, is the short answer. At least, not with fiction. If it's a non-fiction work and it references another book I'd like to check out, I'll jot down those details. But that's about it.

Opening sentence:
Steve Rogers sits at his desk in the FBI's new office for the Chicago Department of Public Liaisons.


 




From page 56:
Loki's eyes flick to everyone around them. He looks suspiciously at the waitstaff and incoming patrons, like he's expecting something from them and is prepared to lash out at any moment.



My Current Read
Monsters: I Bring the Fire #2
C. Gockel


After being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki — so-called God of Mischief, Lies and Chaos — dragged to Alfheim, losing every cent in her bank account, and caring for her grandmother, Amy Lewis has lost her scholarship to veterinary school. But it’s alright. She has a plan. If she manages to keep her day job as a receptionist, and her night job as a vet tech, she may be able to get her scholarship reinstated and save enough money for the dreaded ‘miscellaneous fees.’

Too bad her day boss is unbearable...

Agent Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a suitcase nuke turns out to be something much worse and so-called Norse gods start showing up in his life, he has a priority shift.

Meanwhile, Loki’s priorities and plans haven’t changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn. Of course, earthly pleasures can be so distracting.

These three disparate characters have little in common, but they’ll have to join forces to save earth from trolls, wyrms, frost giant invasions, and an old evil growing beneath Chicago’s streets.

In this second volume of “I Bring the Fire,” chaos comes to our world and decides to stay. The nine realms will never be the same.

  1. I don't take notes either.
    You had me with Loki. A character with that name promises mischief and fun! I added you to the linky. Happy weekend!

    1. It a little self-pubbed series. It's not perfect, but it's entertaining enough.

  4. I don't take notes as often as I should. My reviews are so much better when I take notes. I'm on the fence about this book. It isn't something I would typically pick up, but I do like the opening lines and the synopsis. See what book I'm featuring this week at Girl Who Reads

    1. Thanks Donna. It's amusing, but a few things in it irritate me.
