For Book Beginnings, Rose City Reader invites us to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
For Friday 56, Freda's Voice asks you to turn to Page 56 in your book or 56% on your e-reader and pick a sentence.
I am currently reading Forget My Name by J.S. Monroe.
Judging from the cover and the blurb, I'm expecting Forget My Name to be one of those books that really gets in your head and has you questioning everything, and I can't wait to read it!
I am well past this bit in the book, but it gives a good peek at what's to come. The characters hold a lot of regret and guilt and prejudice, their own preconceptions of each other.
It's a great story so far and although I haven't worked out what's going on yet, I'm intrigued and addicted.
I think this is and excellent first line, it's dramatic and striking and has me asking so many questions, I can't wait to go on!I can't remember my own name.

What are you reading this week?
I'm reading Friend Request by Laura Marshall and the first line is, "The email arrives in my inbox like an unexploded bomb: Maria Weston wants to be friends on Facebook". It's a great book so far!

Okay that is a great first line! I’ve been reading so much contemporary recently but I know when I’ve exhausted that I’ll be on to thrillers and mystery so I’ll keep my eyes peeled for this one! 😊
