June 13th's Friday Post

Happy Friday the 13th!  Let's celebrate with a Friday Post.  I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

My teaser for the first three will be coming from Thrown for a Scoop by Dana Mentink.

This is book four in her Shake Shop Mysteries.  And here's how it begins:

Trinidad Jones delivered two bowls of freshly churned ice cream to a patio table, mint chip for Quinn Logan, the man she’d been failing to marry for six months, and French vanilla for his brother Doug.

Yum!  I mean, who doesn't love ice cream, right?

But at 56% into the story, we find something a little more mysterious:

Trinidad’s mind was fixed firmly on the conversation she’d overheard. You’re a welcher. And you’re gonna do what’s right. Who was a welcher and what were they supposed to do?

I finished this one late last week and enjoyed it.  I'll be reviewing it on Tuesday, so I hope you'll come back then to see my thoughts.

Meanwhile, let's slip over to this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Do you set a monthly budget for books? If yes, what amount? Have you ever exceeded your limit?

If you pay attention to my Sunday/Monday posts, you'll see I don't really set a budget.  Considering all the books I have around here that I haven't read yet, I probably should, but I haven't done that yet.

Have a great weekend!
