Friday Fun - May 27th, 2022

Welcome to my Friday Fun post. This is where I share with two different book parties that post on Fridays: Book Beginnings on Fridays and the Friday 56.

I'm reading The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus by Jaime Jo Wright. I needed a book with a title of 5+ words for one of my challenges. And I love Jaime's stories. Though, I have found it's best when I read them during the day.

Book Beginnings on Fridays

(Please join Gilion Dumas for Book Beginnings every Friday to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author's name.)

Here is my book beginnings for The Haunting of Bonaventure Circus by Jaime Jo Wright.

"Bluff River, Wisconsin
August 1928

Life was not unlike the wisp of fog that curled around the base of a grave marker, softly caressing the marble before dissolving into the violet shadows of the night. There was a sweetness in its bitter that left an aftertaste, a vision, a moment of wonderment."

I was intrigued by the way life was being described, and curious why Pippa was in a some sort of grave yard. Seemed like a creepy beginning.

Now for:

The Friday 56

The Friday 56 is hosted over at Freda's Voice.

Rules:

*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
 *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.

Here are my Friday 56 selections.

The Haunting of Bonaventure Circus by Jaime Jo Wright

"Margie read her mind. 'He went upstairs to play Nitro Steel.' A sparkle in Margie's eyes proved she'd been introduced to Peter's imaginary persona and was more than up to the challenge of chasing around a seven-year-old superhero."
