I ended up not reading the book...so I don't know! I have been in such a funk with my reading moods shifting rapidly lately.
DeleteThat first line has me hooked! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, you too!
Delete"When I was three years old, I lost the ability to walk. It happened gradually at first: a struggle to stand up here, a lack of balance there. But things soon deteriorated. Short distances became tricky, while slopes and stairs were near impossible." The Rules of Contagion - Why Things Spread and Why They Stop by Adam Kucharski
ReplyDeleteJust put this one on hold at the library!
DeleteAm about 100 pages in and finding it quite fascinating. I think you'll like it. MUCH food for thought!
DeleteJust picked it up last night. Getting started ASAP!
DeleteThat is a really cool cover!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I'm currently reading Memory Lane by Becky Wade.
"After dark that night, Leigh returned from her long journey to bring him his medicine. Thank God, Jonah thought, when he heard her enter Remy's small house. She'd arrived with the good stuff."
I hope you have a great weekend!
I definitely have a cover-type! lol I really love this one.
DeleteHmm, it makes you wonder. I hope you enjoy this one. Have a great weekend, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThank you, you too. Happy Reading :)
DeleteI just started listening to SPARE by Prince Harry. First line: We agreed to meet a few hours after the funeral.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you picked it up! Is Harry reading it himself?
DeleteYes! I was so glad he was reading it.
DeleteI could listen to him talk for daaaaaaays.
DeleteMy first line this week comes from The Last Chance Cowboy by Jody Hedlund:
ReplyDeleteChicago, Illinois. March 1871
“ It’s a boy.” Catherine Remington held the squalling infant upside down by his ankles, making sure he didn’t inhale mucus.
What a way to come into the word, to immediately be held upside down!
DeleteThat's a cool cover!
ReplyDeleteRight?! I like it a lot.
DeleteSo what was that word, I wonder? Love the title, the cover, and that first line... Here is my Friday post for the 17th!
ReplyDeleteI loved all of those things too, but I just could not get into the book, unfortunately. So I don't even know what the word was!
