Book Beginnings and Some Random Reading Updates

 I have been reading many blogs that are participating in the Book Beginnings by Rose City Reader and I have decided that I will do the same here and I will try my best to remember to do this every Friday. This challenge is that you post the first line of a book, along with title and author and your first thoughts about the book. 

Red was the last color, the very last. That's what Dr. Edmonds was saying.  This line comes from Just Once by Karen Kingsbury.  Here is an affiliate link in case you want to purchase the book and aid our family just a bit in the process. 

Karen is my favorite author and I have read most of her books, but with the title of the book and this first line, I would truly wonder how it fit into the story. Knowing what the book is about though, the first line says a lot. It truly is part of a diagnosis that many people hear in a years' time. 

The Friday 56 is a natural tie-in with Book Beginnings. The idea is to share a two-sentence teaser from page 56 of your featured book. If you are reading an ebook or audiobook, find your teaser from the 56% mark.

Anne over at My Head Is Full Of Books is the host of this and such it fits so well with the Book Beginnings, I will share this as well today. 

" Speaking of Irvel" ..., A nervous look came over Sam. He wrung his hands together for a moment. " She, us .. she and I have a few classes together." 

Of course, from the same book. I am greatly enjoying this book and I am now on page 125. I hope to be able to finish it this weekend and move onto my next book.
