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 starting an eARC of Buried Wilderness Secrets by Jaime Jo Wright. This book releases next week..
I'm also going to be reading A Light on the Hill by Connilyn Cossette 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 are my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selections:
Buried Wilderness Secrets by Jaime Jo Wright:
"She wasn't supposed to find human bones in the wilderness."
Definitely something I wouldn't want to find. I wondered how she came across them.
A Light on the Hill by Connilyn Cossette:
"The priest's kohl-lined eyes glazed over as he held the iron brand in the center of cedar-fueled flames. Pressing my back against the column I was tied to, I clawed my nails into the wood."
I usually try to only use the first sentence, but this one really needed the second sentense to get the jist of what was going on. And to get that feel of suspense.
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:
Buried Wilderness Secrets by Jaime Jo Wright:
"'Peaches!' Aaliyah shouted. She knew better than to wildly chase after the dog. 'I left the bear spray in the truck.' A foolish move, and she of all people should know that. Bear spray was an excellent self-defense for more than just a bear raging at her because she'd starled it or gotten between it and some cubs."
A Light on the Hill by Connilyn Cossette:
"The music was beautiful, exotic, and at times discordant, yet the rhythm inspired my fingers to tap on my knees.
Zendaye stood and handed the baby to Binaim. 'Come,' she said with a brown palm extended toward me. 'Let us dance.'
'No,' I shook my head. 'I will watch.'
She clapped her hands at me. 'I know you want to--I see your fingers tapping.'
'I will enjoy the music from here, Zendaye.' I'd spent the entire day without my veil and still felt as though every eye was on me. I had no desire to encourage more attention."
Reviews:
