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 three books to share with you.
I read an eARC of Crossbones by C.C. Warrens. This book releases on May 15th.
Then I read Dark Design by Nancy Mehl, the second book in the Erin Delaney Mysteries series.
I am currently reading The Rancher's Stolen Past by Tabitha Bouldin.
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:
Crossbones by C.C. Warrens:
"A fist cut through the air toward my head, and a startled squeak escaped my throat as I flinched reflexively."
Oh dear. What was going on?
Dark Design by Nancy Mehl:
"I was only nine years old when I knew I was destined to be a serial killer."
Well that's disturbing.
The Rancher's Stolen Past by Tabitha Bouldin:
"Molly Peterson had enjoyed a few good ideas - and more than her share of bad ones - in her life."
I wondered what kind of idea was going to be shared. Good or bad? And why?
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:
Crossbones by C.C. Warrens:
"The beat-up envelope arrived three days ago, post-marked from Maine. There was no return address, but I knew who sent it.
The fragrance infused in the paper was so deeply intertwined with some of my worst memories that it made me queasy. I had only ever smelled that signature blend of tobacco in one place - the Wells' house, where Collin's father smoked his pipe and listened to music to drown out the horrors happened mere feet away."
Dark Design by Nancy Mehl:
"Erin sighed. 'That's exactly what Kaely said. I find that not only frightening, but it makes me wonder if I should be writing about things like this.'
Nick smiled at her. 'Look, like I said, authors aren't responsible for the actions of psychopaths, Erin. We can't make it illegal to write books or produce movies that deal with certain subjects because some crazy person might use it as a way to express the evil inside them.'"
The Rancher's Stolen Past by Tabitha Bouldin:
"Six years had dulled the pain of his passing but not eliminated the truth that her future no longer resembled the one she'd planned so carefully. He'd never heard Luke's laugh or seen the dimples in his cheeks. He'd never changed a dirty diaper or stayed up all night watching him sleep.
And she had missed him, every moment of every day. Even now, the pinch of his absence threatened to steal the sunshine from the sky and cast her into perpetual gloom."
