_The Crown's Game_ by Evelyn Skye

Just one passage this time, but I think it's really great and deserves its own post.

 Book Love

There were dusty spines of poetry from the last century, and novels from abroad in French, English, and German. How had he not seen these before? Out of habit, he reached for several. But he stopped short of pulling them out. This was not the time to lose himself in fiction and the study of foreign literature. p60 The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye

I love this sentence because it shows a male lead reading or wanting to read fiction. Desiring it. He only doesn't go through with it because he is in the library for research. I don't know about your students, but my students need more examples of males reading in their lives!
