Friday Fun - October 4, 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 finished an ARC of Reckless Love by Kate Goodwin. This book releases today!

I just started Over the Edge by Irene Hannon. This is the second book in her Undaunted Courage series and it released earlier this week.

        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:

  Reckless Love by Kate Goodwin:

"The air hung heavy with humidity, trees groaning under its weight."

So, it is summer. And I sensed that maybe the "groaning under its weight" was sort of setting the tone for the feeling of a heavy burden. 

Over the Edge by Irene Hannon:

"That was odd." 

I NEEDED to find out what exactly was odd.

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:

Reckless Love by Kate Goodwin:
 

"A creak on the back stairs made them both jump. The girl was frozen halfway down the steps by the time their heads whipped toward her. Her dark curls were smoothed into a braid down her back, bumping out over the hood of her black sweatshirt. How much did she hear?"

Over the Edge by Irene Hannon:

"'I think I'm more anxious than anything else. I mean, I can't believe I imagined what happened Sunday. Or at the lake. The experiences are vivid in my mind. And I'm functioning fine in every other area of my life. Why would these two anomalies occur? And what if it happens again?'"

Reviews:

Last week I shared two books in my Friday Fun post. Here is the link to the review of one of the books. I still need to finish the other book.
