Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Beginning:
Monday morning was the worst possible time to have an existential crisis, I decided on Monday morning, while having an existential crisis.Friday 56:
He lifted a hand. "Again, I'm Isaac, your president. And the one who always looks like he just sniffed paint is your fearless musical director, Traveler Atwood."Today I am reading Noteworthy by Riley Redgate. This was a surprise arrival from Amulet Books. It will be released on May 2 but I already have a finished copy. Here is the description from Amazon:
Trav's nostrils flared. He said nothing.
It’s the start of Jordan Sun’s junior year at the Kensington-Blaine Boarding School for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately, she’s an Alto 2, which—in the musical theatre world—is sort of like being a vulture in the wild: She has a spot in the ecosystem, but nobody’s falling over themselves to express their appreciation. So it’s no surprise when she gets shut out of the fall musical for the third year straight. But then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington’s elite a cappella octet. Worshiped . . . revered . . . all male. Desperate to prove herself, Jordan auditions in her most convincing drag, and it turns out that Jordan Sun, Tenor 1, is exactly what the Sharps are looking for.
I have seen this book a few times and it is one that I think that I will enjoy! Mondays are always that kind of a day for me. Totally relatable book beginning! I hope it is one that you enjoy. :)
ReplyDeleteI can relate to that beginning and got a chuckle out of me from the excerpt. The cover looks fun.
