Friday Fun - November 8, 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 Beyond the Horizon by Penny Zeller, the third book in her Horizon series. This book released this past week.

I'm also reading Matchmaking the Cowboy by Emily Conrad. This book also released this week.

        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:

  Beyond the Horizon by Penny Zeller:

"For a moment, she was the world-famous reporter, Ruby Shepherdson, author of the latest award-winning article."

Lovely dream and goal.

Matchmaking the Cowboy by Emily Conrad:

"'You are not Dr. Carter.' Hollis fought the urge to cross his arms and stand like a barricade at the entrance to the Price Quarter Horses stable." 

So, if the person he was talking to wasn't Dr. Carter, who was he or she. And why didn't Hollis want this person coming in the stable. 

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:

Beyond the Horizon by Penny Zeller:

 

"Oh, the things a bank robber could tell. The life he must have lived. . .
For everyone had a story.
Even criminals."

Matchmaking the Cowboy by Emily Conrad:

"This insight into Hollis pulled at her allegiances at a much deeper level than attration had. She needed to comfort him, but what could she say that wouldn't seem trite or like she was minimizing his pain?"

Reviews:
