To Be King-Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Here is mine:

“Is this what it means to be King? he thought. To be continuously quarrelling, stamping, and snarling? To feel I’ve not one loyal friend, not one person to trust implicitly?”

~Page 93, Pendragon’s Banner by Helen Hollick

Clear Off Your Shelves Challenge

I know, another challenge I am joining, even when I said no more. This challenge is designed to help those of us clear off our bookshelves of books that have been sitting around for 6 months or longer. I am rather guilty of owning books that have been sitting around. I buy one, see another I need to read, and so on. Eventually, I have full shelves. My goal is to read 40%. The Clear Off Your Shelves Challenge runs from 10/01/2009-11/30/09 and anyone can sign up here.
