Emil didn't look up from where he was drawing aimlessly on the ground with a stick. "No," he said, hearing the sulk in his own voice. He gestured to the pallets and people surrounding him. "Esmer, we spent all yesterday looking. I've been sitting here most of the morning. Most people just walk by without even looking at us. It's like we don't exist. And the ones who are looking are usually trying to find someone with a specific skill. The merchants in the Wind Market aren't hiring, and to everyone else, I'm just an uneducated goatherd." Empire of Shadows by Miriam Forster (pg. 209)
I must that apart from Seraphina (that I NEED to read) and The Scorpio Races all the books in your top ten are new to me, off to GoodReads to look them up I go as there are a couple there that have peaked my interest through their covers alone!

I'm known for having read a lot of obscure books. :) But they're good!
DeleteI still need to read Dealing with Dragons, and I don't know that I've heard of Piratica. Is it any good?
ReplyDeleteI remember PIRATICA being rather odd - it's alternate history - but fun. It's not a serious book.
DeleteI really like your teaser. Sounds like they're really down on their luck! I hope things get better. Here's my TT. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Kimberly!
DeleteI need to read a lot of those books you mentioned. I'll have to do that soon. Great post and happy reading. Check out my Top Tuesday here
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy them, Danica! I certainly did. :)
DeleteHow the Hangman Lost his Heart was awesome! So funny, though it shouldn't have been, and sweet too.
ReplyDeleteAbigail Leskey
You've read it!! :) Yes, it was hilarious and sweet all at once. I really, really wish some BBC writer would turn it into a mini series.
DeleteScorpio Races is finally nearing the top on my personal TBR list.
ReplyDeleteLovely cover art for Empire of Shadows and I enjoyed the excerpt. Now I need to see what this book is about:)
here's my TT - http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/11/04/teaser-tuesdays-88-real-elves-an-emily-castle-mystery/
I can't wait for you read THE SCORPIO RACES, Laura! It's probably my favorite Stiefvater novel. EMPIRE OF SHADOWS is pretty good so far - better than the first book, actually.
