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 for Christmas (aka Hercule Poirot's Christmas or A Holiday for Murder) by Agatha Christie:

Stephen pulled up the collar of his coat as he walked briskly along the platform.
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 for Christmas (aka Hercule Poirot's Christmas or A Holiday for Murder) by Agatha Christie:
Stephen Farr came in with a trace of nervousness. He disguised it by putting on a little extra swagger.
Perfect for the season!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an appropriate book for this time of year. I thought about reading some Christmas stories this month, but I can't pull myself away from my current series!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting. Especially the sentences from page 56. I am committed to reading more Christie next year. Maybe I will read this one ... close to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAgatha Christie - what a great choice for a holiday read :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, swaggering can definitely disguise nervousness. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
