He turned the crank handles, hoping the thing wouldn't explode in his face. A few clear tones rang out - metallic yet warm. Leo manipulated the levers and gears. He recognized the song that sprang forth - the same wistful melody Calypso sang for him on Ogygia about homesickness and longing. But through the strings of the brass cone, the tune sounded even sadder, like a machine with a broken heart - the way Festus might sound if he could sing. The Bloody Olympus by Rick Riordan, page 319
I'm interested to see your thoughts on Dualed, Pennyroyal Academy and I Hunt Killers. My brother tried my copy of that last one and stopped halfway through. Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard that I Hunt Killers is a little slow at first, but I trust the people who recommended it to me, and I've done slow before.
DeleteYou really need to read Half Bad as it's an amazing book, very different but in a good way, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT - Thea @ Gizzimomo's Book Shelf
Hopefully I'll be picking it up in January, Thea! :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading I Hunt Killers.
ReplyDeleteI like your teaser today. "like a machine with a broken heart" that sentence grabbed me.

Me, too, Laura!
DeleteInteresting instrument! I hope you're enjoying the story.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features RAINSHADOW ROAD.
Thanks, Sandra; I am! It's tearing out little pieces of my heart, but that's a Rick Riordan book for you.
DeleteYes to all your picks for TTT :) I have all of those on my TBR pile (not on my TTT though) Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Kimberly!
DeleteA Thousand Pieces of You is fantastic and I highly recommend it! I'm also looking forward to reading Mortal Heart. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard it's really good, and that cover is just too gorgeous.
