Friday Fun - October 11, 2024

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

This week I have two books to share with you.

I just started The Trials of the Title by Joy Crain. 

I am also starting an ARC of Unexpected Witness by Penny Zeller. This book releases on October 22.

        Book Beginnings on Friday     

(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.)

and

First Line Friday

(Please join C arrie for First Line Friday.)

Here are my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selections:

  The Trials of the Title by Joy Crain:

"The king of Harmon was dead."

A simple statement of truth. But I wondered if that was a good thing or a bad thing. 

Unexpected Witness by Penny Zeller:

"The day couldn't get any worse." 

Now I needed to know what had already happened to make the day so bad.

Now for:

The Friday 56

The Friday 56 is normally hosted over at Freda's Voice. But Anne from My Head is Full of Books is taking over for a while. 

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 Trials of the Title by Joy Crain:
 

"'But he's so much better than a prince,' Ellie whispered, casting him a glance.
Yes, he was, but fate had already bound her to someone else. After she returned home, Xaander would be relegated to memory. Beloved but never forgotten. Still, she had no idea how she could forget the way he made her feel. Beautiful, protected, loved - all rolled into one. She would have been happy with only one of those, never realizing she could feel all three at the same time."

Unexpected Witness by Penny Zeller:

"'This just got much more serious.' said Roarke. He steepled his fingers on the table. 'Are you sure this is a secure location for her?'

'It's the best we have right now.'

Mila willed her heart to return to a normal rhythm."
