Friday Fun - July 1, 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.

Thanks to not being able to put down the books in the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series last month, I am a bit behind on finishing up my challenges for June. I just started When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin for the June Back Porch Challenge, set during a world event. It's my first book by this author and I am enjoying it very much. 

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 When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin.

"Evelyn Brand had done a crack bit of journalism, and she hadn't even had to dress like a man to do so.
She perched her hip on the desk in the American News Service office in Berlin, while Hamilton Chase III, the European bureau chief visiting from London, reviewed her article."

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.

When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin
 

"With the boisterous music and conversation in the room, Evelyn had no need to worry about anyone listening, but Peter leaned in, more than willing to play her game of low voices and code words. Anything to study her face at close range. 'All right, but when your hostess serves a tasty dessert of a movie, how can any guest find fault?'"
