Friday Memes




Book Beginnings on Friday is a bookish meme now sponsored by Rose City Reader (who originally inspired the meme). Here's what you do: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments section. Include the title and author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you are so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line and if you did or did not like that sentence. Link up each week at Gilion's place.

Here's the first line from The Lady in the Morgue by Jonathan Latimer:

The morgue attendant jerked the receiver from the telephone, choked off the bell in the middle of a jangling ring.




The Friday 56 is a bookish meme sponsored by Freda's Voice. It is really easy to participate. Just grab a book, any book, and turn to page 56. Find a sentence that grabs you and post it.
 
Here's mine from The Lady in the Morgue by Jonathan Latimer:
"Kit said, 'You never will,' and that was the last time Mother saw her."
