Friday Fun - November 29, 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 read Christmas in Bethel by Richard Paul Evans.

I also read Night Falls on Predicament Avenue by Jaime Jo Wright.

        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:

  Christmas in Bethel by Richard Paul Evans:

"Despite the title of this book, my story is more of a love story than a Christmas story."

That was fine with me. 

Night Falls on Predicament Avenue by Jaime Jo Wright:

"I can hear the darkness."

An intriguing thought. What does darkness sound like. And why was she focused on the darkness. 

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:

Christmas in Bethel by Richard Paul Evans:

 

"Near the end of the show, a row ahead of me and just a few seats over, a little girl was crying. I don't know why; she was probably tired or hungry or maybe just overstimulated, but her mother kept slapping her hand and telling her to shut up. I watched them. The anger and annoyance in her mother's eyes were too familiar to me."

Night Falls on Predicament Avenue by Jaime Jo Wright:

"Mrs. Miller wasn't wrong. There was a ghostly apparition that would stand beside your bed and stare down at you. You could feel its presence there even before you opened your eyes. And when you finally did, the shadow woman would vanish almost as soon as you spotted her."

Reviews:
