Friday Memes

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 did or did not like that sentence. Link up each week at Katy's place.


Here's mine from The Last Matryoshka by Joyce Yarrow:

Ishkhan estimated four seconds before the boy passed out.





The Friday 56 is a bookish meme sponsored by Freda's Voice. It is really easy to participate.

*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.

*Find any sentence that grabs you.

*Post it.

*Link up at Freda's site.

Here's mine from
The Last Matryoshka by Joyce Yarrow:

We've all seen better days, I thought, and the chances for their return are slim.

Mildly depressing -- I want to believe that there are better days still ahead! :)
