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 in the Rue Dumas by M. L. Longworth:

The friendship between Yann Falquerho and Thierry Marchive had surprised everyone at the university.
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.

All we did was break in...that's nothing compared to murder.

Sounds like an interesting mystery. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!
I had to go look it up immediately since it takes place on a street named after me. :) It sounds like a great book and it's the first of a series -- I am going to track down a copy.
Thanks for posting in Book Beginnings. Have a happy New Year and I hope you play along again in 2013!
This sounds like my kind of book!
Looks like a good read. I had to laugh at the 56! Thanks for dropping by my Friday post earlier.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I think the excuse makers on page 56 sound like high school kids...masters of excuse making.
Definitely makes you want to keep reading.
