Who? What? Where (51)

Who are you with? Where are you at? What's happening?

Share with us just a little bit of what is happening in the book you are reading, right where you are now.

Just a tiny taste of what's happening, remember try to not give spoilers of the book.

(This is a new meme I'm going to try and will tweak as I go. And please don't laugh at my lame attempt at drawing. ;D )

I'm sitting with Sarmin in his prison of a bedroom. His brother, the Emperor Beyon, has surprised Sarmin by doing something he has never done before, visiting him. Beyon asked Sarmin to not betray him, and also told Sarmin he is sick as well, showing Sarmin the markings of the "plague." Sarmin is recording the patterns of Beyon's marks and thinking there is a secret there. I think Sarmin is smarter than given credit for, even though he's not had human contact he seems to have his own plans he's putting together with all of his sudden and new visitors.

Sounds intriguing. I cannot wait to read your review! My who where what: I'm with Simon and Jane in the supermarket dealing with some identifiable, creepy monster, who is currently delaying, and maybe even ruining, Taco Night.

This week, I'm finally somewhere! - Scotland in the 50s, with an orphan/governess running away from the man she desperately loves but has hidden a shameful secret from her.

Sounds like a lot of intrigue.

Lets see... I'm trying to solve a murder that just took my partner. I'm also trying to find out what is being withheld from me so I can solve the murder.

Bibliotropic - I'm enjoying it now. I was a little confused in the beginning, about 20pages or so. But once I got it all ironed out and started to get to know the characters I started to really enjoy it.

Missie, The Unread Reader - I had a hard time describing this one. I can tell there is something stewing in the pot, but I've not got all of the pieces yet. :) Thank you!

Mirjam - Hi! :D Glad you like the sounds of this one so far. :) Oh, sounds neat, and how dare it ruin Taco Night!?! :D lol. Thank you!

StephanieD - Yeah! Glad you are somewhere new. :) Ooo, sounds like there is a little bit of a tangled web in that relationship. Hope you are enjoying it. :)

Blodeuedd - Oh, sounds like that Bella needs a new husband...or a gardener. ;D Thank you!

Melissa (Books&Things) - It is! ;D Oooo, sounds like a nice murder case there! And sorry to hear about your partner. ;) Hope you are enjoying it!

Quotes from Books, which caught my eye...

"It's always Ragnarok. Regular mortals have the power to blow the world sky-high and all the major supernatural factions can do the same. The thing is, though, as long as people want to live then you're going to have people stepping in the way of those who want to do something to blow us up. That's the only way you can endure it." Ben Talbot, By C.T. Phipps in Esoterrorism

"Be that as it may, we were--and no doubt, still are--held under scrutiny, with that whole Phoenix Society brouhaha. It is imperative we remain on our best behaviour, a feat that you did not exactly manage effortlessly with your shenanigans in Edinburgh." Wellington Books, By Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris in The Jaus Affair

"Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit." By Frances Pauli from The Fly in Paradise

"'In hundreds of years,' she continued, voice darker and sober now, 'I've only let myself love two people. You don't have that kind of time, though. You're mortal. You don't get to make a lot of mistakes before you kick it and if you wait, you get screwed over.'" By Skyla Dawn Cameron from Hunter

"...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared..." By Nicole Peeler from Tracking the Tempest

"We are what we choose to be, girl," she said. "Let others determine your worth, and you've already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves..." By Peter V. Brett from The Warded Man.

"There are no honorable causes. There is no good or evil. Evil is only what we call those who oppose us." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising.

"That we are both right. One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising..

"Death is real, irreversible, and awful. Do you want some advice? Don't wait until you're dead to try to communicate. Do it now. You still have a chance. Not a great one, but a better one than you will have. If you think it's hard to get your point across now, and that no one really understands what you're about, just try it when you're dead." By Alexander Jablokov from Brain Thief.

"I wasn't running now so much as stumbling quickly, panting like a geriatric lion." By Nicole Peeler from Tempest Rising.

"Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light." He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. "Then Be like them." By Ken Scholes from Lemantation.

The truth, the Seventeenth Gospel said, is a seed planted in a field of stones beneath a stone and guarded by snakes. To have at it, be strong enough to move the stone, patient enough to dig the hole and fast enough to dodge the viper's fang. By Ken Scholes from Lamentation.

I took a deep breath, "I took the nahlrout because I didn't want to faint. I needed to let them know they couldn't hurt me. I've learned that the best way to stay safe is to make your enemies think you can't be hurt." It sounded ugly to say it so starkly, but it was the truth. I looked at him defiantly. By Patrick Rothfuss from The Name of the Wind.

"We can be strong in the face of kings and priest, my lady," Ashe replied, "but to live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain-leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart." By Brandon Sanderson from Elantris.
