Friday Fun - February 14, 2025

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'm reading an eARC of Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard for one of my reading challenges. This book releases next week. 

I also started an eARC of Dawn of Grace by Jill Eileen Smith. This book also releases next 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 Carrie for First Line Friday.)

Here are my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selections:

  Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard:

"Deja Vu. A premonition. Call it whatever you want."

Had to wonder what kind of premonition someone was having.

Dawn of Grace by Jill Eileen Smith:

"It's this way, Mary. Come on!" Susanna shouted above the noise of the wind whipping off the lake."

I wondered where they were going and why Susanna was in such a rush.

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:

Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard:

 

"Something feels wrong. 
It gnawed at the back of her neck.
Her agitation growing, Remi tossed and turned, then finally opened her eyes. The room was dark, but light filtered in from beneath the door.
Heart pounding, she sat up and gasped.

Where am I?"

Dawn of Grace by Jill Eileen Smith:

"I had to fight my longing to leave the women and join the crowd. I couldn't just leave Adi with the food and not help. 'Where do you want our servants to put all of this? Do you have a storage area that can hold it?' I'd seen most of Simon's house, though not all."

Reviews:

Last week I shared one book in my Friday Fun post. I haven't finished that book yet, but here are the links to reviews of books I shared in previous Friday Fun posts.
