Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 - September 9, 2016


I'm linking up with Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and Freda's Voice for Page 56. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Pick the closest book on your book stack and join the fun.

The Beginning:

"The Office was dark. Michael had found that the sort of clients who went looking for a private investigator in a strip mall rather 
than hiring one online wanted that classic Phillip Marlowe vibe as part of the service."

Page 56:


"I tossed and turned, unsettled in my bed, unable to lull my brain into sleep. Finally, after an hour or so I got up.. One by one, I moved every potted plant that I had into the bedroom. Only then, reluctantly, did my mind allow me to read.

These are from Were- edited by Patricia Bray & Joshua Palmatier. This was a Kickstarter project that I supported. The Beginning is from the first story in the series Best in Show by Seanan McGuire. The Page 56 is from Among the Grapevines Growing by Eliora Smith.
