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 one of my current reads, The Dire King (Jackaby #4) by William Ritter. I've love the previous installments of this series and I just don't want it to end. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet!
Beginning:
To say that the house at 926 Augur Lane was not yet back to normal would be to grossly misrepresent the nature of the house at 926 Augur Lane. At it's best, the peculiar property was an abode of the abnormal and a sanctuary for the strange.
56:
"You want me to post bail for somebody?" Miss Lee called down as the carriage began to rattle on down the street. "I guess I can do that."
"Thank you," Jackaby called back to her.
"Who am I bailing out?"
"Everyone."
The carriage bumped along the paving stones for a silent stretch. "By everyone, you mean...?"
"It is a rather large jar of banknotes," said Jackaby.
What are you reading this weekend? Have you read this series? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
This sounds like fun! I'd love to visit a house that is an abode of the abnormal, and I'm definitely curious as to who needs to be bailed out and why.

ReplyDeleteI think so, too. Seems fun. Have to make a note to explore this one further. Need to start at the beginning?
DeleteDefinitely start at the beginning. It's such a great series. It's very Doctor Who meets Sherlock Holmes with a dash of Supernatural. :)
DeleteI didn't even know there was a Jackaby #4, lol. I loved the first book😁
ReplyDeleteAll of them have been amazing so far! You need them.
