It's Friday! Time for this week's Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:
Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop
This week, I will be sharing teasers from One Final Turn, the last Electra McDonnell Novel by Ashley Weaver.
This series features a safe cracker who finds herself working for British Intelligence during World War II.
And here's how the book begins:
No one could ever say I'd lived a dull life. I was, in fact, a biographer's dream.
That makes for a fun and honest beginning, doesn't it?
Meanwhile, over on page 56, we find this:
"And you didn't notice anyone following you back form the cafe?" he asked instead.
"No. Archie was very careful about making sure no one followed us back."
I'll be sharing my thoughts on this book on Tuesday. I hope you'll come back to see what I thought then.
Meanwhile, let's look at this week's Book Blogger Hop. The question is:
Does the headline “Must-Read Books” grab your attention?
No, it usually doesn't. Ironic, since I used that phrase to promote the short story I reviewed on Thursday. But it is such an overused phrase that I don't pay any attention when someone says that.
Have a great weekend!
I enjoyed this book. I still need to read the others in this series.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. If some publisher says must-read, it makes no difference. If a blogger says must-read, I pay attention.
ReplyDeleteI can see that. “Must-read” has been used so often that it doesn’t have the same impact it once did. I think the reason behind the recommendation matters more than the phrase itself. Have a great weekend, and Happy Reading! Feel free to stop by my blog and share your thoughts on “must-read” lists.
ReplyDeleteI'll only pay attention to "must-read" lists if they focus on cozies. And even then I'll be selective about what I do read. Have a great weekend. :)
