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.
Here's mine from Murder at the Portland Variety by M. J. Zellnik:
Here's mine from Murder at the Portland Variety by M. J. Zellnik:
From the moment she entered the lobby of Crowther's Portland Variety, Libby Seale could tell something was amiss.
So....what's going on?
The Friday 56 is a bookish meme
sponsored by Freda's Voice. It is really easy to
participate. Just grab a book, any book, and turn
to page 56. Find a sentence that grabs you and
post it.
Here's mine from Murder at the Portland Variety by M. J. Zellnik:
She hit upon an idea that would make her visit seem more respectable. "I have some information for him regarding a story he is working on."

Great 56. I wonder if the story is a murder mystery... based on the title.
Wonder what is amiss? Great snippets! Here is mine http://srivallip.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/friday-memes.html
Something being amiss coupled with the title of the novel tells me there's a dead body not too far away.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I'll bet he would like to have that information badly.
Sounds like a good story. I have been reading some thrillers lately but not a pure mystery. I'll have to look on TBR mountain to see what I have. Happy reading!
I wonder what she sees in the lobby that tells her that something is amiss...or if its one of those extra sensory/aura type things.
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
That is a new mystery to me. Thanks for visiting.
Now I am definitely intrigued! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
These are great excerpts. they've made me curious anyway! My Friday post:
