Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - February 9th





This week I'm joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader.  This is where we post the beginning of the books we are reading or will be reading.  






I'm also joining in for the Friday 56.  

Freda at Freda's Voice started and hosted The Friday 56 for a long, long time. She is taking a break and Anne at My Head if Full of Books has taken on hosting duties in her absence. Please visit Anne's blog and link to your Friday 56 post.


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 halfway through this.  It's the second book in the series and I'm loving it.  Excerpts are from the E-ARC.





Book Beginnings

"Brighton, put that fluffy tail to work and sweep up this dirt."

From chapter 6 on my e-reader (I didn't want to get any spoilers from 56% since I'm not up to that yet.)

Irene picked me up and moved me to her side of the table.  "If you sit here and behave, I'll give you extra salmon treats tonight."

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Brighton the talking cat loves to spend his days sunbathing and begging for snacks in the local community garden, so when the garden director is found standing over a dead body with a shovel, he’ll do anything he can to dig out the killer and clear her name.

What do you think?  What are you sharing today?

  2. The opening made me laugh. I can't really picture any cat sweeping up dirt.

  6. My daughter moved back home yesterday and brought her two huge cats with her. I appreciate giving them treats and hoping they'll behave.
