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 Girl Lost by Kate Angelo.
I'm also starting the novella collection titled Every Voice Heard, featuring three novellas about church hurt and abuse by N.Y. Dunlap, D.T. Powell, and Sarah Hanks. This collection releases on December 3rd.
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:
Girl Lost by Kate Angelo:
""Luna Rosati could disappear into any crowd, any city, any life."
Was there a reason she wanted to disappear?
Praise Through the Pain by N.Y. Dunlap, the first story in Every Voice Heard:
"Alexis slipped out of the practice room and into a wide hallway, as she stuffed a praise flag into her oversized purse."
I wondered if she wasn't supposed to be where she was, seeing as the author used the words "slipped out of" and she was stuffing the flag into a purse.
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:
Girl Lost by Kate Angelo:
"'That’s not my department, Agent. I just report what I find. The rest is up to you.' Santos leaned back in her chair. 'But I will point out that these organs could fetch a price on the black market. Definitely the type harvested for organ trafficking.'
The word hung in the air."
Praise Through the Pain by N.Y. Dunlap, the first story in Every Voice Heard:
"She floated up the steps of a white gazebo. No. Danced. That was what she did: danced her way in and out of his reach. She moved with swift grace, then leaned over the rail, giving him a smile he could cherish. 'But I also meant what I said in my nephew’s room. If AJ didn’t like the toy, you’d have bigger issues on your hands than little ol’ me. He likes you.'"
