Friday Fun - February 7, 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 one book to share with you.

I'm reading The Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher for one of my reading challenges. 

        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 is my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selection:

  The Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher:

"Dawn parked in front of her childhood home in Needham but couldn't make herself get out of the car."

Was there a specific reason she was at her childhood home? What was wrong that she didn't want to leave the car?

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 is my Friday 56 selection:

The Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher:

 

"Marnie bristled at being lumped in that 'at our age, sweetheart' category-- fifty-eight was not old, people!--but she didn't disagree about grabbing every moment of happiness. Still, it did worry her that Bonnie might get to Alaska and regret it."

Reviews:

Last week I shared two books in my Friday Fun post. Here are the links to my reviews.
