Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - April 5th

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 am reading this one now. This is from the E-ARC ...


Beginnings...


Will it rain? Though clouds glower overhead, I lift the black veil on my hat and put my sunglasses on so I don't have to meet anyone's gaze as we listen to the droning voice extolling Julia Greene's accomplishments as if she had just graduated rather than died. Errant, uninspired raindrops descend, enough that women pull their mink stoles closer, and many people look up, surprised.

The Friday 56...

"Just shut up. I don't want to know.

    The beginning and cover are perfect together. I wonder what they don't want to know.

    No cat on the cover so I wouldn't read it :)

    Love that cover image! I can vividly picture the scene from that brief excerpt so I think I would enjoy Kalpakian's writing :-)
