Sci-Fi Month 2019 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse #1) by James S.A. Corey + 50/50 Friday
On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and 50/50 Friday is a new weekly link up and it is hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader and Laura @ Blue Eye Books. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. Then, for 50/50 Friday, every week there's a new topic featuring two sides of the same coin - you share a book that suits each category and link up on the hosts blogs.
Beginning:
The Scopuli had been taken eight days ago, and Julie Mao was finally read to be shot.
56:
The enemy ship was now painting them with its targeting laser.
50/50 Friday: Favorite/ Least Favorite Book Tag
Favorite - The Captain America Book Tag - This was so much fun to put together!
Least Favorite - Bookish Book Lover Tag - Good, but a little to generic to really stand out.
What are you reading this weekend? Have you taken part in Sci-Fi Month before? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps commenting down below!
I've heard so many good things about the Expanse series, I need to give it a try! I'm hoping to finish Doomsday Book this weekend, and then I'd like to get to The Girl in Red if I can so I can return it to the library before I make a start on Station Eleven for Buzzwordathon. =)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I need to read both of those. Station Eleven is fantastic. :)
DeleteI've been meaning to start this series as well. I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy!
DeleteI have this book sitting in my to be read pile! My partner started watching The Expanse so I've caught glimpses of the show. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, Dannica.
DeleteI've not watched this series, or read the book, I need to look into both - sounds like something I'd enjoy. I hope it's available in the UK!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Here is my Friday post. Enjoy your weekend!
I hope it is for you as well, Sassy. Thanks for coming in!
Delete"read to be shot"? What does that mean? Capital punishment? My Friday quotes
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll find out. :)
DeleteShot? Lasers? Sounds cool!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI know right! Thanks, Freda.
Deleteis anyone ever ready to be shot? LOL
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Doubt it. :D
DeleteI've heard a lot of good things about Leviathan Wakes. It looks interesting, and I like the quotes.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it!
DeleteBookish Book Lover Tag was one I never did because it didn't stand out enough. So I agree with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and have a great weekend!
I hope you have a good one too, Carrie. :)
DeleteWill you be ready for a break from sci-fi at the end of the month, or are you still enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteWell, it is one of my favorite genres. :)
DeleteLeviathan Wakes sounds good! I always tell myself I will participate in Science Fiction November and then I never do. One of these years perhaps. I hope you enjoy it, and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThere's always next year.
DeleteThis one sounds intense. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine too!
DeleteI don't read a lot of Sci-Fi, but if you're looking for something else to squeeze in this month, try How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse. :)
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
I've had my eye on that one!
DeleteI love The Expanse series so much. I haven't checked out the books, but would highly recommend the show.
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
DeleteThat beginning definitely has my interest piqued! Thanks for sharing this one. :)
