September 2nd's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

It's Friday.  And for me, it's a short Friday leading into a long weekend.  Can't wait to get started.  But first, here's this week's Book Beginnings and Friday 56.

This week, I'm highlighting Whispers Beyond the Veil, the first in a new series by Jessica Estevao.

                                                        


This is a historical mystery that also features elements of the paranormal.  While paranormal isn't normally my first choice, I really did enjoy it.  My full review with giveaway will be up on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, here's how the book started:

There stood my father, up on the makeshift stage.

And from page 56, we get this:

"For an Aquarius today I would predict a slight head injury, an attempted robbery, and a rescue by a handsome policeman."

Short and to the point today.

I hope you have a great weekend, and if you are in America, I hope you have a great long weekend.

    Thanks for the weekend wishes. When I first glanced at the cover it made me think of Mary Poppins. LOL Normall the cover would turn me off, but I do like your 56.

    This does look good. You have a great long weekend, and think of those of us who have to go to work on Monday! Here's Dead in the Water by Irna van Zyl, which I'll be reading this weekend.
