Book Beginning is hosted by Rose City Reader. Where you share the first sentence of the book your reading, thoughts, impression, and inspiration from that. The Friday 56 by Freda's Voice. It is where you share a sentence from the 56th page or 56% of your ereader and thoughts/impression without spoiling.
I am doing Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 on Defy.
Book Beginning
"The crackle and hiss of the flames devouring our house couldn't block out the screaming and wailing of those who were still alive."
This just makes you see a house going up in flames. The deafening roar is trying to make you forget the people who are still with you. Something is wrong and you as a reader most find out why the flames are lit and why people are screaming.
The Friday 56
"He must have some by his side at all times. We can take no chances with the life of the heir to the throne."
You realize that something is off. That someone is in danger and that person is an important person to the kingdom/country. You must find out why the person must be guarded at all times, especially a prince.
See you later guys! Have fun watching the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi!
Interesting dagger on the cover -- dangerous but with a beautifully carved rose. I like the sounds in the book's beginning--they really drew me in--and I'm definitely curious about the heir mentioned on page 56. Sounds like a good story.
