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 Eight Seconds in Red River by Cali Black. This book released today.
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:
Eight Seconds in Red River by Cali Black:
"Silvie Shepherd leaned over the steaming, bubbling pot of tomato sauce and inhaled the delectable aroma of fresh herbs and spices."
Well, first of all, this sort of made me hungry. It also made me wonder if there was a special reason for the delectable meal. And then it reminded me of Sundays with my aunt and her standing over the stove making sauce to go with our lunch.
Hidden Currents by Elizabeth Goddard:
"'The sea never gives back what it claims. . .'"
I had to wonder what the sea might have claimed in this book.
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.

*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:
Eight Seconds in Red River by Cali Black:
"She stuck her hip out with Tyler on it. 'Cane, you don't need to be in my barn. You need to be right here with your daughter. You're all she's got now. She needs you. I can handle my own responsibilities.'
He was quiet for a moment. 'If I'm going to be here, show me how to help you. I can make things easier for you. I can help you.'"
Deadly Currents by Elizabeth Goddard:
"Evelyn stared at her empty teacup, her expression grim. Cressida was surprised she allowed herself to be so vulnerable with a stranger. She didn't know how to steer the conversation to the ghost ship, but she wouldn't push. Mrs. Monroe had shared this story for a reason. It must be connected."
