Friday Fun - May 19, 2023

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 two books to share with you. 

I received an ARC of To Enchant a Lady's Heart by Robin Lee Hatcher. I'll be sharing my review shortly. The book officially releases on Monday, May 22nd, but the paperback is available now. 

       

I have also received an ARC of Rescue in the Wilderness by Andrea Byrd as a part of the launch team. This book will release on June 27th. 

              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 To Enchant a Lady's Heart by Robin Lee Hatcher:

"The Blakeslee ballroom glittered as couples swirled around the dance floor."

Sounds like a joyful beginning, but I wondered. . .

And here is my Book Beginnings for Rescue in the Wilderness by Andrea Byrd:

"Every fiber of William's being fought his presence in the room."

Okay, so who is William and why doesn't he want to be where he is?

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 are my Friday 56 selections.

To Enchant a Lady's Heart by Robin Lee Hatcher:
 

"Only a few days before, she would have become lost in the labyrinth of hallways and narrow staircases. But not today.'"

Rescue in the Wilderness by Andrea Byrd:

"The three of them walked, huddled side by side, step by slow step. Just before they reached the summit, a cry rent the air. William froze and Lucinda turned her face into him at the blood-curdling sound."
