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 one of my PopCulture Readathon books, The Councillor (The Councillor #1) by E.J. Beaton. So far, I'd say this is right up my alley!
Beginning:
The shape of a crown stood out in the emerald wax of the seal, and Lysande glanced at it once before looking away, staring at anything but that envelope. She raised her vial and drank.
56:
Shifting further into the shade of blackfoot branches, Lysande watched as the two women conversed, noting how the second physician grinned, dipping her fingers in the fountain.
Have you read this book? Are you taking part in this readathon? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!

DeleteI have not read this book nor am I taking part in the readathon. I did sign up for quite a few challenges and couldn't do them all. I hope you continue to enjoy this one. Have a great weekend! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/01/first-line-friday-34-deadly-target.html
