On Friday's I take part in two 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 Trope-ical Readathon books, The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix. This author has quickly become one of my favorites and I'm so excited to finally get to start in on it.
Beginning:
I wake up, get out of bed, say good morning to my plant, unwrap a protein bar, and drink a liter of bottled water.
56:
I am a turtle without its shell, no protection, just raw flesh exposed to the world.
Are you taking part in this readathon? Have you read this book? As always, thanks for visiting and perhaps even commenting down below!
This book has been on my radar for a while. I need to make the time to read it. Or maybe try it on audio.
ReplyDeleteI bet it would be great on audiobook.
