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 just started reading...


Beginnings...

My computer is winking at me knowingly when I sit down at my desk. I touch the keyboard, and a photo of Paul appears on my screen. It's the one I took of him in Rome on our honeymoon, eyes full of love across a table in the Campo dei Fiori. I try to smile back at him but as I lean in, I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the screen and stop. I hate seeing myself without warning. Don't recognize myself sometimes. You think you know what you look like and there is this stranger looking at you. It can frighten me.

Friday 56...

From 56% on my Kindle...

It was the first time in twenty years it had been mentioned in the family - Nick had told Angela to stop upsetting the children with it and she'd complied.

    I wonder what the IT is. Can't go wrong with a Lee Child book.

    This one is waiting for me at the library. Her previous book, The Widow, is good too. Enjoy!

    The Child sounds good from the little bit I just read.
