October 21st's Friday Post

It's Friday!  Let's kick things off with a Friday post.  As usual, I'll be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

My teaser for the first three will be coming from No Parm No Foul by Linda Reilly.


This is the second in her Grilled Cheese Mysteries.  I figured it was appropriate to feature it this week since it is set around Halloween.  Does this make up for me featuring a Christmas book last week?

Here's how the book begins:

Grant Robinson swept through the front door of Carly's Grilled Cheese Eatery and scooted behind the counter.  "It's over, Carly.  I finally did it."

What did Grant do?  I'm going to leave that for you to discover.  Meanwhile, let's jump over to page 56.

"Did he tell you they suspected he was murdered?"
"Not at that point.  Don, I'm not going to reveal any of the details I discussed with the detectives.  I'm sure you know that they withhold certain facts from the public.  If I blab them, it might compromise their case."
"I already know about the vampire figurine."

That's a Halloween appropriate clue, isn't it?  I'm in the middle of reading this book now, and I'm enjoying it.  If all goes as planned, I will finish it up later today and review it next week on Thursday.

Let's finish things off with the Book Blogger Hop for the week.  The question is:

Are any of your bookcases buckling under the weight of too many books?

No, which is a bit of a surprise.  I can't get any more books on them, so they must be pretty sturdy.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  4. My first line is from the creepy good book by Jaime Jo Wright, The Premonition at Withers Farm:
    August 1910
    When death came to visit, no one ever prepared tea and cookies.
    Happy reading!

  5. I am currently reading Godmersham Park by Gill Hornby. It's pretty awesome!
    "Anne did not stay long at the party. She was still not in quite the right mood."
    I hope you have a great weekend!

  11. Oh yes, my bookshelves are overflowing! I've been reading The Christmas Switch by Zoey Marie Jackson. The first line is: Chanel Houston tossed her keys in her purse and reached into the back seat of her sister's 2002 Honda Civic to grab one of the boxes of books. ~ Have a great week!
