Friday Fun - December 13, 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 Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.

I just startied I Think I Was Murdered by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker.

        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:

  Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers:

"Alex Stafford was just like Mama said."

Curious who Alex was and if this was a good thing or a bad thing that he was just like Mama said.

I Think I Was Murdered by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker:

"In 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto laid an egg."

Um, um, I wasn't quite sure what to think of this. What kind of egg are we talking about here. 

In case you want a bit more, here is the second line:

"Jason Foster had found it two weeks ago, and he'd been running for his life ever since."

Now I was really intrigued. Sure did capture my attention.

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:

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers:

 

   "On his way out of town, Michael drove by the brothel. It was big and fancy. The place was overflowing with men--mostly young, some bewhiskered and some smooth-cheeked--nearly all drunk or well on their way to being so. Someone was fiddling, and men were making up bawdy verses to the tune, each cruder than the last.

    "And she lives there, he thought. Up in one of those rooms with a bed and little else. He flicked the reins over his horses and kept on going, frowning heavily.

I Think I Was Murdered by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker:

"'I found him unconscious, and the ambulance brought him here to the surgical center in Eureka. He apparently fell-he's got a fractured skull and hematoma. They just took him back for surgery to relieve the pressure on the brain. They have to stop the bleeding or-or. . . .' His voice cracked."
