Book Beginnings on Friday: 1/6/2012


How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you would like, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be at A Few More Pages every Friday and will be open for the entire week.

Thanks to Becky at Page Turners for starting this meme and to Rose City Reader for inspiring it!

Golden City isn't your average tourist trap. Sure, it's got its tall building, and the one street everyone knows the crazies hang out on-the teens with green hair and lip piercings that tourists think are an attraction somehow.

"That doesn't change the fact that you ruined things and now I'm over you."

She covers her eyes with her hands and sobs again.

Part of me wants to put my arms around her and comfort her and tell her I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of that, and it's going to be okay.


The Friday 56
Rules:
  • Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
  • Turn to page 56.
  • Find the fifth sentence.
  • Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Freda's Voice
  • Post a link along with your post back to Freda's Voice
Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
