Book Beginnings and The Friday 56

Book Beginnings on Fridays is hosted by  Rose City Reader.  Simply share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading and link up in her linky.  

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice.   

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
 *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. 
*It's that simple.

Hell is a two-hour layover in Atlanta.

~Beginning of The Darkest Corners by Kara Thomas.

Yes, I am a liar, but there are a couple of things I feel the need to say about that.

Book Beginnings on Fridays 11/12/10

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by A Few More Pages.  The rules are simple:

Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence.

"Get out,"  I pleaded.  "Get out of town for good.  That way we don't have to kill you." ~Hourglass by Claudia Gray

This beginning grabbed my attention right away!  Who needs to get out of town?  Why?  Who's is going to kill them and why if they don't get out of town?  So many questions to have answered!  I can't wait to finish the book to see what brought this on!

Book Beginnings on Friday is a fun meme that is now hosted over at A Few More Pages.
How to participate: All you have to do is share the first line (or two, I'm not too picky) of the book you are currently reading on your blog or in the comments. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading (and can go pick up a copy if it sounds good!). Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence (thanks to Rose City Reader for inspiring this meme).

"Marinth.  Samuel Debney piloted his motorboat up Venice's Grand Canal, wishing he had never heard that word."  ~Shadow Zone by Iris Johansen and Roy Johansen.

I like this beginning because it grabs my attention and makes me want to know what the heck Marinth even is!  I just started this book and I'm only a few pages in so I'm still not quite sure what Marinth is....just that it's dangerous!

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.

The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers

"I wasn't surprised when Mama asked me to save her life."

Okay, so how could this not grab your attention?  It immediately got me hooked on the book!
