Should Be Reading - Miz B - hosts this weekly event. We throw out a couple of sentences from our current read (without spoilers, of course) to entice you to read the book.This week's teaser is from Watermark by Vanitha Sankaran, page 16*:
Auda quelled a shiver of excitement and tried not to dream, as she often did, that the first original book Martin made would be written by her. Surely that was his dream, too--why else would he go through such effort to bring books home to share with her? She could picture it, a leather-bound volume containing pages and pages of her writing, maybe even decorated with bright illuminations. If Poncia knew of her ambitions, she would scoff at them both, asking what kind of woman wanted to write books? Few could even read.
It's Tuesday, Where Are You? is hosted by an adventure in reading.
I'm in 14th century France in the small village of Narbonne. I'm a young albino woman who helps her father in his paper making business.
I'll be touring this book on Thursday for TLC Book Tours. Be sure to check back then for my review and other information about Watermark.
*This is an Advanced Reader Edition; page numbers may differ.
