Friday Fun - July 3, 2026

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 starting Conspiracy by Colleen Coble. This is the third book in the Sanctuary series.

        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:

 Conspiracy by Colleen Coble:

"Wildlife veterinarian Paradise Alden smiled at the two tiny lemurs as they nudged closer to their mother, Fiona."

Awww. Now I want to go to the zoo and see the lemurs.

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:

Conspiracy by Colleen Coble:

"Unease rippled down her back. Had her mother feared the killer had left it? It wouldn't be unheard of for her to mention to Ben that her daughter loved The Phantom of the Opera. Maybe someone close to Ben had left it. Paradise rubber her head. Maybe she was seeing connections that didn't exist."

Reviews:

Last week I shared one book in my Friday Fun. I did finish the book, I just haven't had a chance to sit down to write the review.

And two weeks ago I shared one book. I had finished it last week, I just hadn't had a chance to write my review. So, here is that review:
