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!
That’s such a fun idea—trying to reduce your TBR while others keep adding to it sounds way too relatable! Stop by to see my response. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI like your game idea.
ReplyDeleteIn the Spirit of French Murder sounds like an interesting read.
Sounds like an interesting read!
ReplyDeleteI have had my eye on that series. Maybe one day ...
ReplyDeleteThat game sounds good. I would definitely play something like that.
Have a great weekend!

Not sure anyone would play the reduce-your-tbr board game with you but perhaps it is solitaire? Ha! I went through my list near the end of last year and seriously lobbed books off it. If I couldn't remember why I put it on; if the reason I wanted to read it had passed; if my library didn't have a copy off it came. It was very freeing.
ReplyDelete"... It is death, I see." whoa!
