I created the Friday Book Share Game to help search for that ideal novel/author.
Anyone can have a go – all you need to do is answer the following questions based on a book you enjoyed reading (old or new) and use the hashtag #FridayBookShare – Simples!
First line of the book.
Recruit fans by adding the book blurb.
Introduce the main character using only three words.
Delightful design (add the cover image of the book).
Audience appeal (who would enjoy reading this book?)
Your favourite line/scene.
Here’s mine:
I’ve had this book on my TBR pile for a while and only recently managed to start it – so far, I’m loving it! If you want to know more about Ally Condie’s books you can follow her on Twitter @allycondie
First line/s –
My twin sister, Bay, and I pass underneath the brown-and-turquoise banners hanging from the ceiling of the temple. Dignitaries perch on their chairs in the gallery, watching, and people crowd the pews of the nave.
Recruit fans by adding the book blurb –
Set within a civilization that lives deep beneath the sea, twin sisters, Rio and Bay, are about to make the most important decision of their lives.
Will they choose to stay Below, sacrificing their soul but living in happiness, or to go Above, keeping their soul but living in weakness and misery.
No one could have predicted their choice.
Introduce the main character – Rio is confused, dedicated, and scared
Delightful Design –
Audience appeal – Perfect choice for fans of YA Science Fiction and Fantasy, and Dystopian.
Your favourite line/scene –
She’s here.
Maire.
My mother’s sister.
The siren woman some people call a witch.
The one I think might have killed my mother.
How else to explain her crumpled figure on Maire’s doorstep? Or why Maire never said anything, never offered a single word of explanation as to why my mother might have come to her?
“Maire wouldn’t have killed her,” Bay said, when I told her about my suspicions. “A sister couldn’t do that.”
BUY a copy of Atlantia from Amazon UK or Amazon US

I read this one, but didn’t enjoy it as much as her Matched series.

Shelley, your Friday Book Share has caught my imagination, what an exciting premise love the scene you shared as well as the book blurb. I’m intrigued even though this isn’t my usual book genre!

That’s the beauty of the game, Annika, I’ve discovered a range of books that wouldn’t normally interest me. It’s been a fun feature 🙂

I read this a bit ago (as soon as it was released). I liked it, the story was clever, the writing (as always with Condie is beautiful) and…bonus…the cover is stunning. That said, I liked her other books better. Let me know what you think of it.
