Friday Meme’s ~When the Mountain Meets the Moon

November 13, 2020 Stormi Misc. 3

Since there are a few Friday Meme’s that I want to participate in I have decided to post them all in one post.

Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. Take the first sentence of your current read and post it.

In the valley of Fruitless Mountain, a young girl named Minli spends her days working hard in the fields and her nights listening to her father spin fantastic tales about the Jade Dragon and the Old Man of the Moon. Minli’s mother, tired of their poor life, chides him for filling her head with nonsense. But Minli believes these enchanting stories and embarks on an extraordinary journey to find the Old Man of the Moon and ask him how her family can change their fortune. She encounters an assorted cast of characters and magical creatures along the way, including a dragon who accompanies her on her quest.

This is one of the books I am going to read for #believathon, so haven’t gotten to it yet but hopefully soon. 🙂

Far away from here, following the Jade River, there was once a black mountain that cut into the sky like a jagged piece of rough metal. The villagers called it Fruitless Mountain because nothing grew on it and birds and animals did not rest there.

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda @ Freda’s Voice. It’s like Tuesday Teaser but you have a specific place in your read that you have to turn in your read (page 56 or 56%) to get your teaser.

“Magistrate,” a third voice said, one that seemed a little kinder, “it is only a minor flaw. If we just dotted in the eyes, the dragon would be finished.”

“Hmm, yes,” the magistrate said, obviously considering. “Bring me a paintbrush and ink.”

Page 55 from the hardback copy I got at the library, as page 56 was just an illustration. 🙂

Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. Each week we are asked a question to answer so it reminds me a bit of FF and so I thought it made a good fit to my other Friday Memes.

What is your favorite social media and why?

Well, it use to be Facebook until they decided they can censor you for having an opinion that is associated with the far Left idealism, so I would probably say Instagram. I can just get on there and look at books and not worry about to much political crap. 🙂
