It's the weekend once more. That means it's time for my book-blogger hopping.
Have you ever been called a "book nerd?" If so, how did you react?
Many times, and I love it. I consider the title a mark of honour.
Book Nerd and Proud! :)
Opening sentence:
The night Kate Harker decided to burn down the school chapel, she wasn't angry or drunk. She was desperate.
From page 56:
Now, the way other people felt about food, that's how August felt about music. He could savor each note, taste the melody.
This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity #1)
Victoria Schwab
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives.
I love the thought of tasting notes of music. My quotes from The Overstory
