Friday Fun - November 27, 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 starting an eARC of Risking His Heart by Emily Conrad.

I read The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch.

        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:

 Risking His Heart by Emily Conrad:

"If good things come to those who wait, Cody was doing something wrong. ."

Sounds like things aren't going his way.

The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch:

"Her eyes are vacant orbs that pierce my soul and chill my bones."

So, that was creepy. And I needed to know who exactly was narrating and who had such eyes.

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:

Risking His Life by Emily Conrad:

"'Why did you never tell him about his dad?' Clara’s low question was barely audible over the whir of the ellipticals. 

'What’s to tell?'

 'That his dad threatened both your jobs to keep you apart.'"

The Other Sister by Jessica R. Patch

"Simple touristy things will never do for someone as sophisticated and cultured as Acelynn, but you can't come to Chicago and not visit the Navy Pier and eat Chicago pizza. That would be a travesty."

Reviews:

Last week I shared two books in my Friday Fun post. I'm still reading the one. I finished the other, but haven't gotten a chance to write my review because of being busy with holiday stuff. I also finished The Other Sister which I shared above, but still need to write my full review. I'll share them next week.
