Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Becky at Page Turners. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading. If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.
Rules:
- Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
- Turn to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of Storytime with Tonya and Friends.
- Post a link along with your post back to Storytime with Tonya and Friends.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
"I am a socially awkward mandork."
Sentence 5, page 56:
Wow, unlike Peters, he didn't sneer her name. He actually said it like he respected her.
Thus far, I am enjoying this vision of the Dark-Hunters' world from a 14-year-old boy's perspective. It is good to see the background of a character who has been a side character in many of the adult Dark-Hunter books.
I have always thought I should delve into a Sherrilyn Kenyon book...now you've really piqued my curiosity.

Hey Kathy! I love Sherrilyn Kenyon! She is a great author! But I haven't read this one...I like how you do both the beginning and page 56 too. Great idea!

mandork! I love it. I must use that term at some point in the near future.
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteLove that opener ;) and the 56.
Here is my Book Beginning Friday :)
Great sentences, especially the first one. I am not familiar with Kenyon's books for adults. I am glad you are enjoying Infinity.
ReplyDeleteHey neat! I like Nick too, so the fact that he has his own book is great. I'm on Dark Hunter #3 myself.
