My thoughts about Awakening ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"I dream of the day when I'm the only sister left. Then I pray it never comes."

This whole Singularity series that Susan Kaye Quinn has written has taken me down the path of a genre I typically don't read—science fiction. But I am a huge fan of hers so I just had to read the first one and I have been hooked on this series ever since.

I think Awakening is probably my favorite Singularity story so far. I loved the character of Sister Amara, most of all her strength and her compassion for the other sisters. Along with the great characters, there is a lot of action packed into this novella. It's a quick read that will leave you wanting more!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? January 16, 2017

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

Well, we finally celebrated Christmas with the kids and grandkiddos last weekend. People might think we are crazy to wait but it takes away a lot of the hassle and stress of trying to get everything done by December 22nd. We always travel over Christmas and this later date allows us all to recuperate and be relaxed for our celebration. 

It's always so much fun and now with the addition of the new grandbaby, there are 18 of us. I love it that we can all get together and have a wonderful day. And I love watching my kids interact as adults now, it makes all those growing up years so worth it. 

As I am getting this post ready on Sunday, it is snowing lightly. Big flakes, coming down very softly - it looks and feels like I am in a snowglobe. It is so pretty. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!
