Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading!
Book Beginning:
"Coconuts bouncing down a bowling lane."
Friday 56:
"Finishing her morning coffee, Linnie walked to the veranda's railing and breathed in the fragrance of honeysuckle."
I haven't actually started this yet (I still have a couple of pages of Wires and Nerve left) but I am very intrigued by that opening sentence! I have no idea what's going on but it's an interesting image! The second quote in contrast is pretty idyllic and lovely, so I think this will be a really nice and possibly funny read! I am really looking forward to it! I was sent this for review!
If anyone's interested my review of last week's Friday Reads - Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones - went up yesterday and you can check it out here.
I'm reading this right now. Been a while since I've read one of her books and was lucky enough to win this!

So glad you won a copy! It's the first of her books I've ever read but I am loving it so far!
DeleteWhen I read the opening, I thought of thunderstorms in South Florida! I'd keep reading to find out what the author is describing. I like the description in your 56 too.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features An Innocent Client.
It rains pretty much constantly in England but we rarely get storms like that! So I couldn't think of anything to compare it too!
DeleteFun teases and a peaceful cover.

I really like this cover design! And I am really enjoying the book so far!
DeleteI loved this book! Especially because, from the first page, I felt as though I was right there with them in the gorgeous setting, and feeling what they were feeling. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “BEHIND HER EYES”
Yes! I am only a little way in but I feel like I've connected so much to the characters! Loving it!
DeleteSweet Lake looks interesting. I haven't heard much about it, but I hope you enjoy it once you get to it.
ReplyDeleteI've started it now and I am really loving it so far - the characters are great!
DeleteLove the cover, and I love honeysuckle.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying the book.
