Friday the 13th's Friday Post

Welcome to Friday the 13th!  I'm celebrating with a Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

For the first three, my teaser will be coming from Fatal Fried Rice by Vivien Chien.

This is book seven in her Noodle Shop Mysteries.  Yes, I still have some catching up to do since the thirteenth comes out later this year.  Anyway, here's now this book begins:

"If you tell anyone about this, I'm gonna have to kill you," I said, staring my best friend squarely in the eye.

And just what is the main character's secret?  I'm not telling (here).  Meanwhile, on page 56, we find this exchange:

A few minutes later, Megan poked her head out the door, waved, and jogged to the car.
She hopped into the passenger seat. "Kikko was going bonkers as I was heading out, so I left her with a bone. I think she knows something is up."
I chuckled. "Most likely. She was doing laps around the apartment this morning. I'm feeling kind of jittery myself."

I enjoyed this book.  I'll be reviewing it on Thursday, so I hope you'll come back and read what I thought.  (And my teaser just might spoil that secret from the opening sentence.  You just never know.)

Meanwhile, let's turn our attention the Book Blogger Hop for the week.  The question is:

Are there genres you read that you feel a little shy about?

I can't think of any.  Then again, I usually stick to mystery with the occasional middle grade book.  And I've reviewed every book I've read for years.
