On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by
Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, 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 Beat The Backlist 2025 books, Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow. This has been recommended to me so many times - I have to try it.
Beginning:
In 1902 Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Avenue hill in New Rochelle, New York.
56:
She could not share her worries with Grandfather, who had sired the young man at a late age and was now totally separated from any practical perception of life.
Are you participating in this challenge? Have you read this book? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I've heard good things about this book - I'll have to try it too. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed we both will!
DeleteThis book is on my "must read someday" list. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Catherine. I hope you do too
DeleteI started this once and didn't finish it. I must get back to it. I remember there were a lot of actual names included in the book which I thought was very clever.
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
