Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me.

Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.

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 Unknown Weapon (Andrew Forrester), the first short novel found in Three Victorian Detective Novels editedby E. F. Bleiler:
I am about to set out here one of the most remarkable cases which have come under my actual observation. The Friday 56 is a bookishmeme 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.

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!
Sounds like a good mystery!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
Very intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Friday56. There seems to be an identity crisis of some kind. Really interesting. Like the beginning too.
ReplyDeleteThat beginning grabs us and shows us that exciting times lie ahead.

Very tantalizing... I hope it's a good one
