December 6th's Friday Post

Welcome to this week's Friday Post.  As usual, I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

I'm not sharing teasers from a Christmas book this week.  Instead, my teasers for the first three will come from Fondue or Die by Korina Moss.

This is the fifth book in the Cheese Shop Mysteries.  As a result, the opening sentence usually revolves around cheese, and this book is no exception.

"Harbison!" Archie, my cheesemonger-in-training, called out in triumph.
"That's the one," I replied from the opposite side of our Dairy Days festival booth.

That opening may not throw us into the action, but the book doesn't waste any time getting us there.  On page 56, we find this interaction:

"What's going on?" he asked, immediately ascertaining Mary Ann was upset.
"Pete!" Mary Ann cried, reaching out to Chief Womack. "You told me she was dead. You didn't say she was murdered!"

I really enjoy this series, and this was no exception.  My review of this book will be up on Tuesday, so I hope you'll come back to see what I thought of it.

Meanwhile, let's look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Can you recommend a book that catches the spirit of year-end thoughts or generates a sense of nostalgia in you?

I'm not sure about year-end thoughts, but I've been thinking about Narnia a lot recently.  And The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe does have that Christmas scene.  The series does give me nostalgia as well.  So we'll go with that one.

Have a great weekend!
