On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader. 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.
Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting my current ScreamAthon readathon book, Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland #1) by Anthony Horowitz. I'm always on the lookout for a good book within a book and this sounds like it's going to hit the spot.
Beginning:
23 July 1955
There was going to be a funeral.
56:
"He'd kill me," she replied. She smiled curiously. "Actually, he did try to kill me in a way - after our last row."
Are you taking part in this readathon? What are you reading this weekend? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I'm not taking part in the screamathon, but I am taking part in the fraterfest read-a-thon.
ReplyDeleteI have this book on my TBR list! Great selection and your snippets make me want to jump it to the front of the queue.
Happy weekend and here's my Weekend Book Friends #11
I've done that one before in the past and it was a lot of fun. Good luck with it!
DeleteI haven't read Magpie Murders, but the quotes for this one are definitely interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm not currently participating in any readathon's, and I'm planning to read Artificial Condition by Martha Wells this weekend. Enjoy your current read!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy yours!
DeleteThis sounds like a really good mystery, and I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteIt's really eye catching isn't it.
DeleteI hadn't heard of this readathon, but it sounds like a fun one! I've had so many people tell me how much they love Anthony Horowitz's books, but I haven't tried one yet. These excerpts are great, though!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday post.
The hosts have put a lot of effort into it. :)
Deletei haven't read the book but it looks like a good one.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
DeleteIntriguing 56!!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Freda. Have a good one!
DeleteI've been seeing Anthony Horowitz all over lately. Maybe it's time I tried one of his novels. Enjoy the ScreamAthon.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've only ever read one of his and that was ages ago - Stormbreaker.
DeleteSo intriguing!! And, alas no, no readathon this year, since I've been in a reading slump for quite a while now...
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday Post
Thanks for visiting and sharing.
DeleteI highlighted Bird Box, another thriller that includes birds. Not sure I could do a screamathon. Eek!
ReplyDeleteI loved that one. Thanks for coming over, Anne.
DeleteI didn't realize I'm skipping ScreamAThon and Victober. LOL All my months look the same - just keep reading :) Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean there. Just keep reading. :)
DeleteI'm not doing any read-a-thons, I'm doing a work-a-thon this weekend. :( Too bad! Magpie Murders looks good!
ReplyDeleteI know how that feels! Thanks for coming over, Gilion. :)
DeleteI've never read this, but it definitely sounds interesting from the quote! I haven't seen ScreamAThon, but I am currently participating in a different spooky read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of great ones going on right now.
