Friday Fun - January 19, 2024

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 one book to share with you.

I am on the launch team for An Uncertain Road by Abbey Downey and I just started reading. It releases in a little over a month, on February 27th. Stay tuned for my review of this historical romance.

        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 C arrie for First Line Friday.)

Here is my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selection:

  An Uncertain Road by Abbey Downey:

"'Couldn't you make it a few more blocks?'"

Definitely some frustration going on here. 

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 is my Friday 56 selection.

An Uncertain Road by Abbey Downey:
 

"She was all fire and fervor now. How was he going to get her calmed down enough before this race started to drive sensibly? 'It doesn't have anything to do with you. This race is inherently dangerous. One look at the road snaking up that mountain and anyone could see it. All those tight turns, narrow stretches, and sheer drop-offs are asking for trouble.'"

Reviews:

Last week I shared three books in my Friday Fun post. I only finished the one book, and if you like you can click on the link below to read my review.

I'll have these two books finished soon, and will then share my reviews:
