Hi all! Slipping in a little Friday post here. 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 The Girl with the Dragonfruit Tattoo by Carrie Doyle.
This is book three in the Trouble in Paradise! series. It's set on a fictional Caribbean island, and this one was enjoyable.
Here's how it begins:
Plum Lockhart's fingers paused above her computer's keyboard.
Okay, so maybe not the most exciting beginning. But on page 56 we find this:
"Do you have a minute? I wanted to talk to you about murder - "
That will certainly catch your attention, won't it?
I'm planning to review this one on Thursday, so I'll hope you'll come back then to see what I thought.
Meanwhile, let's take a look at this week's Book Blogger Hop. The question is:
Do you struggle to start a new read after finishing a truly amazing one?
Not really. It's rare I start a book immediately when I finish the last one. Usually, I set a book down and go do something else for a while, be it internet or TV or work or chores or something else. So by the time I am ready for my next book, I'm mentally ready for my next adventure. I always start my next book before I go to bed that night.
That's it for me. Have a magical weekend.
"Do you have a minute? I wanted to talk to you about murder - "
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a compelling line!
1. Love the title's take on "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"
ReplyDelete2. I have always wanted to taste/eat Dragon Fruit, but every time my local grocer claims to have some they are all gone by the time I get there.
3. "I wanted to talk to you about murder - " lol - that gets everyone's attention 💚
This looks cute and what a fun title!
ReplyDeleteI need to give myself a short pause between reads — even just a day — before jumping into something new. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha. That title. I would be attracted to that book, too, if I saw it in a bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one before. The excerpts make me want to read it.
