June 2nd's Friday Post

We made it to Friday!  For a short week, this week sure was long.  Let's kick the day off with a Friday post, where I will link up to:

First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

My teasers this week come from Hot Pot Murder, the second L.A. Night Market Mystery by Jennifer J. Chow.

This is a fun second entry in the series.  You can get a sense of that from the opening:

All happy hot pot gatherings are alike; each unhappy hot pot event is disastrous in its own way.

Given the title, that opening lines gives you a sense of what is to come, doesn't it?

Meanwhile, we get a sense of danger from this quote from the 56% point of the book:

“Are you all right?” Celine said. “You look pale.”
“Maybe dehydrated,” I lied, removing the glass from my forehead and drinking some of the cool liquid.

I've finished the book over the weekend, and I just wrote my review Thursday night.  I enjoyed it.  I hope you'll come back on Tuesday, which happens to be the book's release day, for my full review.

Let's wind down with this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

What would the title of your autobiography be?

I really had to think about this one.  In fact, I had something else before the perfect title came to me.  It's something I tell people as a joke all the time, especially at work.  And it captures my sense of humor, too.  Here you go.

When in Doubt, Panic

Now, I just need to write it.  I think I'm panicking at the thought of having to write my autobiography, in fact, so I guess you won't have to read it after all.
