Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56

Labels: ,



This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join on the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it here.

It's that simple.



I'm also joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader.



I will soon start reading...



Beginnings...

The beach house sat perched on a dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Small and yellow, it blended in with the waves of sweetgrass and sea oats and the delicate yellow primroses for which the cottage was named. For eighty- five years it had endured the fury of hurricanes, the rush of tidal surges, and the ravages of the salt-tinged air. It had withstood the test of time.

The beach house was a survivor.


Friday 56...

"I still can't believe no one's ever taken you fishing," he marveled. "How could a person reach twenty-six years of age and not know how to fish?"

    This sounds good. I haven't been fishing since I was a child and I'm okay with that. This week I have an urban fantasy novel - Blood Gamble by Melissa F. Olson. Happy reading!

    I really want to read this book! I love the beginning and the 56 though I'm with the person who doesn't know how to fish! I have no idea!

    This sounds so perfect for a summer read. Love that cover. Our family all learned to fish at a young age. I still enjoy it.
