August 11th's Friday Post

Welcome to another Friday.  Time for this week's Friday Post.  I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, my teasers for the first three come from Claws of Death by Cathy Wiley


This was a fun book.  You can get that sense of fun from the opening:

I thought my life couldn’t get any worse. Evidently, the universe took that as a challenge.

That line put a grin on my face.

Of course, this is a murder mystery as you could guess from the title (and the fact that it's a book I read), but even when we are talking about death, there's still some humor:

“They aren’t going to find cyanide. It’s really not an ingredient I choose to use in my cooking.”
“Me neither. It’s too expensive, and there’s no return on investment.”

Yes, that one made me laugh out loud.

Obviously, I really enjoyed this one.  My full review will be up on Tuesday, so I hope you'll come back then to read my full thoughts.

Meanwhile, let's close the week out with this week's Book Blogger Hop.  And the question is:

Do you have a routine for getting ready to read?

Not really.  I read at various times of the day, so when I have a chance, I usually just grab my book and dive in.

Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

  5. The beginning made me laugh. It had me thinking about how when you make plans, God has a laugh because he already has plans for you. :-) Happy weekend!
