April 24th's Friday Post

We've made it to Friday!  Time for this week's Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:

Book Beginning
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, my teasers for the first three will come from In the Spirit of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge.

This is book four in the American in Paris Mysteries.  It features Tabatha Knight and her neighbor...Julia Child.

Here's how this book begins:

"It was an absolute disaster!" Julie cried, gripping my arm in desperation.

That grabbed my attention.  I needed to know what the disaster was.  Meanwhile, on page 56, we find this:

"You, too, have the energy around you. But it is different.  It is quieter, but not weaker. You have...It is death, I see."

What could that mean?  I'll leave it for you to find out.

The book comes out on Tuesday, and I'll have a release day review.  So I hope you'll stop by to find out what I thought.

Meanwhile, let's close things out with this week's Book Blogger Hop.  The question is:

Imagine creating a book-themed board game. What kind of gameplay would it have? 

I think I'd do something about trying to read your to be read pile.  Maybe you are on a quest to lower your list by 20 books.  But your opponents can sabotage you by adding to your to be read pile.  I'm not completely sure how exactly it would work, but this basic idea sounds fun.  Lots of kinks to work out and rules to create, right?

Have a great weekend!
