Friday Fun - September 8, 2023

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 just started an eARC of Fall Back and Find Me by Sarah Hanks as a member of the launch team. This is my second book by this author. I was also on the launch team for the first book in the A Sister in Arms series, A Battle Worth Fighting. You can read my review of that book here.


              
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 Fall Back and Find Me by Sarah Hanks:

"My two-inch heels crunch across the gravel as I meander from the bounce houses to the bustling game booths at Ascend Community Church's Labor Day carnival."

Seems like a fun start to the book.

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.

Fall Back and Find Me by Sarah Hanks:
 
"As soon as he leaves, I test my strength by lifting my arms over my head. Oh. My. Word. They are lead. They're far too heavy to lug around a zoo. Amputation is the only reasonable alternative. I bite my lip to stiffle a cry, and blood tinges my mouth. I must do this. There's no way I can let my family down. I'll push through."

  4. Hey there, I've been talking to Freda about taking over (hopefully temporarily) and relaunching the Friday 56. Were I to do so, Would you participate? How much forewarning would you want to prepare for it?


    No obligation (obviously), I'm just checking the temperature of those who participated in the last one.
