Welcome to my Friday Fun post. This is where I share with two different book parties that post on Fridays: Book Beginnings on Fridays and the Friday 56.
This week I have one book to share with you.
I set Laura's Shadow by Allison Pittman aside because I received my ARC of The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright! I'm so excited to be on the Launch Team for this book. It's the first book of Jaime Jo Wright's that I actually own. And I am loving it so far. I'll be sharing my review soon.
Book Beginnings on Fridays
(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.)
Here is my book beginnings for The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright:
"When death came to visit, no one ever prepared tea and cookies. Still Perliett Van Hilton sipped her tea and eyed the good doctor over the rim of the white china cup."
So, who was dead and why was the doctor visiting Perliett?
Now for:
The Friday 56
The Friday 56 is hosted over at Freda's Voice.
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.
The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright
"Perliett scanned the darkness. The shadows. The cornstalks weaving back and forth in a subtle motion like the thin arms of a skeleton man. She could imagine them reaching for her, straining through the night, until bony fingers wrapped around her, digging into her skin."
Someone else is doing this one today! I love her books and can't wait to read it. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hunting the treasure without me?
A fascinating book!
Perfect for spooky season!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteExcellent questions to propel your potential readers forward. Very compelling. My quotes are from REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham. It's super cute!
ReplyDelete"In my psychology class we learned that the best way to deal with sensitive artistic personalities like Eli's is to ask questions to help them come to their own conclusions. Directness may lead to internal wounds. Or was that about counseling teenagers? Oh well, I'm sure it works for both."
Have a great weekend!!!
That opening definitely caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading this one! I'm currently re-reading To Treasure an Heiress by Roseanna M White. The first line is: "Prince ... or pirate?" Have a great weekend!
