Friday Fun - September 30, 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.

This week I have one book to share with you. 

I hadn't even heard of Laura's Shadow by Allison Pittman. In fact, I had never heard of this author before. But I decided to participate in my library's "Blind Date with a Book" program several months ago, and this book was chosen for me last month. I hadn't gotten to it because of how many books I was reading for my challenges. But, I decided I needed to read it, because it sounds really good.

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 Laura's Shadow by Allison Pittman:

"The schoolhouse was nothing more than a shack, with sunlight and drifting snow blowing through the spaces between the thin, rough-cut slats. The previous owner, terrified of winter on the South Dakota prairie, had hightailed it back east until spring.."

Don't think I'd want to have to sit through school in such conditions. .  

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 is my Friday 56 selection.

Laura's Shadow by Allison Pittman
 

"'And do you usually close them in the evening?'
'Of course.' He was teasing, and the realization of it loosened something within her. The unease of his staying in her cozy bachelorette space didn't diminish, but it switched course, and for a blinking minute, Trixie wished she didn't have to leave."
