Friday Fun - October 25, 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 two books to share with you.

I'm reading Christmas in the Cascades, A Romance Novella Collection by five authors. This book releases today.

I'll be starting an ARC of Never Forgotten by Hannah Linder. This book releases on November 1.

        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 are my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selections:

  Christmas in the Cascades by Marissa Adams, April Kidwell, Marline Williams, Chris Daniel, and Cali Black:

"Swirling snowflakes tumbled, mounding in front of Papa's foundry across the street."

I was curious why she was focused on her father's foundry.

Never Forgotten by Hannah Linder:

"He must get out of here." 

I needed to know where this person was and why he was so anxious to leave...

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:

Christmas in the Cascades by Marissa Adams, April Kidwell, Marline Williams, Chris Daniel, and Cali Black:

 

"Consternation burned its way across my face, but my fingers grew cold. I pressed them against the back of my neck in vain, trying to cool myself. A headache began forming.

'Miss Craven? Are you all right?'

'Don't you know who I am?' I snapped"

Never Forgotten by Hannah Linder:

"Smoke.
Simon caught the taste in his mouth as he jogged up the stairwell of Gray's Inn. On the second floor, he hesitated. Maids scurried about the hazy corridor, some coughing into their hands, others toting brass buckets."

Reviews:

Last week I shared two books in my Friday Fun post. Here is the link to one of them (as I already shared the link to the other review last week).
