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'm currently reading Northargyle Abbie by Janelle Leonard as a member of the review team.
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 Carrie for First Line Friday.)
Here is my Book Beginnings/First Line Friday selection:
Northargyle Abbie by Janelle Leonard:
"My life's trajectory of scraped knees, shower aversions, and sports scholarships came to a screeching halt when Grandma Brown moved in next door on my fifteenth birthday."
I had to wonder why her grandmother moving next door would change her life so much..
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:
Northargyle Abbie by Janelle Leonard:
"I lean my head back and twist the Argyle diamond ring, wondering at all these things pointing to a connection between Gran and Austrailia."
Reviews:
Last week I shared one book in my Friday Fun post. Here is the link to my review:
So is the book a play on the Austen novel Northanger Abbey? It must be. Have you read the original?
ReplyDeleteyes, it is. But no, I have never read Northanger Abbey. However, now I want to.
DeleteI hope you do and then do a comparison review of the two books together.
