August 22nd's Friday Post

Welcome to Friday, and this week's Friday Post.  I'll be linking  up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

For the first three, I'll be pulling quotes from For Duck's Sake by Donna Andrews.

This is book 37 in the Meg Langslow series.  Yep, a long running series and one I've been reading almost from the start.

Speaking of starting, here's how this book begins:

"This is the life," Iris Rafferty exclaimed, taking a long pull on her glass.

Nice relaxing beginning to a mystery, right?  As you can see, we are into the plot by page 56:

"Things didn't get bad until the day after the game. They tried to frame Billy."
"Frame him how?"

My review will be up on Tuesday, so I hope you'll come back to see what I thought.

Let's close things off with a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

 Have you ever read a book with a character with the same name as you? 

As a matter of fact, I have.  The first time it happened, it was an accident, which can happen when you have a fairly common name.  But there have been several times authors have put me in a book.  I always enjoy seeing my fictional alter ego pop up.

That's it for me.  Have a great weekend.
