November 20th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

We've made it to the weekend again!  And that means it is time for Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week, I'm reading The Readaholics and the Poirot Puzzle by Laura DiSilverio.




The book won't actually be out until December 1st, and I will have a review and giveaway posted on December 3rd.  But in the meantime, here are a couple of teases to hold you over.

Like how the book begins:

Choosing a book for the Readaholics to read is a tough task, and the five of us who make up the book club take the responsibility seriously.  Usually.

Page 56 finds us at the grand opening of a pub that the main character's brother owns.  Why am I telling you this?  To give you a little context for this next sentence.

"Oh, gross, the toilets are overflowing!"  A woman popped out of the restroom near the bar and made her announcement like she was calling a Rockies game and needed to be heard by everyone at Coors Field.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got 35 pages left in the book, and I think I need to finish it.

Have a great weekend.

      Yes, no one ever makes a huge announcement about things going well, do they?

    I love the beginning and the 56 made me giggle. This series has been on my TBR but the Poirot reference in this title makes it a must read! Enjoy the last 35 pages!
