Book Beginnings on Friday
is a bookish meme now
sponsored by Rose City Reader (who originally inspired the meme).
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 Gilion's place.

"Has anyone ever told you you have the face of an Erté odalisque?" he asked her, and when she burst out laughing he made a mock grimace. "Gee, that line usually works a lot better."

Here's my Book beginning:

I can see why she laughed, I would too!
Murder at the Garage Sale. A new place for a murder. Here is my post: Book Beginnings
Who knew the garage sale circuit was so exciting? I like it.
Perfect for this time of year! I found 4 or 5 vintage mysteries at garage sales this week. Maybe I was part of a murder mystery and didn't realize . . .
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings!
