Book Beginnings on Friday


Book Beginnings on Friday is a bookish meme sponsored by Katy at A Few More Pages. Here's what you do: share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments section . Include the title and author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you are so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and if you liked or did not like that sentence. Link-up each week at Katy's place.




Here's mine from The X in Sex: How the X Chromosome Controls Our Lives by David Bainbridge:

It has been six week now. Six weeks of tireless, frenzied activity since that sperm jostled its way into that egg.

Makes early pregnancy sound a lot more exciting than it seems from the outside.....

  1. Yes, it does, doesn't it? That's a great opener though. :-)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
