October 14th's Friday Post

We made it to Friday!  That means it is time for another Friday Post, where I link up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, the teasers for the first three will come from A Christmas Candy Killing by Christina Romeril.


This is the first in a delicious new series.  And it certainly has a beginning that will catch your attention:

What was an alliterative word that worked with cyanide? They’d used Strychnine Strawberry. Was there anything that went with hemlock?

No, it doesn't take more than a paragraph or two to figure out what is really going on, but I will leave it to you to figure out what that is.

Meanwhile, I'm going to jump to 56% in my ARC where we find this:

"I want to make sure my sister isn't about to be arrested, especially after what Penelope said."

What did Penelope say?  Is the sister going to be arrested?  Yes, I have a couple of short teasers this week, but I think they work very well that way, don't you?

I'll be reviewing this book on Tuesday as part of a blog tour.  I hope you'll come back to see what I thought.  There will be a tour-wide giveaway, too.

Now, let's jump into this week's Book Blogger Hop question:

Do you suggest new authors to your readers? 

Funny that this should be the question this week when I pulled my teasers from a debut author.  So yes, I do recommend new authors to my readers.  Something, they are new, sometimes just new to me.  But I like mixing some new authors in with the familiar favorites in my reading, so that's what you see on the blog.

  6. I suggest things on Facebook Groups, mainly books though rather than a specific author.

    I like the sound of that book and I love the cover!

    Have a great weekend!

  7. I am currently reading The Belle of Belgrave Square by Mimi Matthews. I am loving it!
    "Later that morning, after a brief stop at Doctors' Commons, Jasper bounded up the steps of the Wychwood townhouse in Belgrave Square."
    I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  8. My first line this week comes from a breathtaking book The Lost Melody by Joanna Politano.
    One day in late May of the year 1886, I found myself imprisoned in the Hurstwell Pauper Lunatic Asylum. This was unconscionable—- I had never been a pauper.

  10. I have very few authors I will for-sure read so it is unlikely I will say anything to someone about an author unless it is one of these.
