Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - June 28th





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 reading this one and it's pretty good, so far.  



Book Beginnings

Olivia glanced at the line of onboarding passengers at the elevators and sighed.

From 56% on my e-reader 

"Glad to help.  I'm excited about it.  So, after good cry, did you feel better?"

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Olivia’s life goes from a permanent vacation to a nightmare when one of the cruise ship’s staff is murdered.

Olivia Morgan’s life working as an assistant in her boyfriend’s cruise ship act has been a permanent vacation. But her cruise to the Bahamas takes a terrible turn when Peter leaves Olivia and her talkative parrot Chico stranded on the ship with a show scheduled in just a few days.

It takes an even worse turn when a crew member is murdered!

Can Olivia pull off the show without Peter, or will they throw her and Chico off the ship when they reach Nassau? Will the murderer get caught before someone else is killed? Will Olivia be the next victim?

Travel along with Olivia and Chico on their killer cruise. As close to taking a cruise as you can get from your couch.

  4. Poor Olivia! It was going so well for her at first. This sounds like a fun cozy, Yvonne. I hope you enjoy it!

  5. It's not easy when the show must go on and the main act is gone. Sounds like quite an adventure.
