Happy Friday!
Book Beginnings is hosted by Gillion at Rose City Reader. She asks that the first sentence is posted along with the author and title of the book and the reader's initial thoughts on the sentence, the book, or anything else it inspires.
Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower.org also provides a linky for sharing first lines and connecting with others. This meme asks that the chosen books be PG or marked as Mature if they are not.
Beginning:
My eyes snapped open. I glanced around my room. The light of breaking dawn scattered the shadows. A sound. From the kitchen.
Friday 56:
"Oh, Maggie. I expected you to take longer. You know, at the church." Olivia spoke in short bursts, and her hands fluttered. "There's an investigator. In my office. He wants to talk to all the staff. Go on in."
This week I am spotlighting The Librarian by Judith A. Barrett. As a retired librarian, I am drawn to books about people in my former profession. Here's the description from Amazon:
Vigilante Justice: Librarian Style
Maggie was a quiet librarian until a heartbreaking murder woke something dangerous inside her. Now she’s out for blood, not for herself, but for those who deserve justice.
She survives an explosion and begins the slow process of healing with the help of her unusual team. When her world is shattered by a heart-wrenching murder, Maggie's team trains her to fight to win, whatever the cost.
Her grief and rage transform her from prey to relentless hunter, and her brilliant observational talents threaten a complex criminal scheme.
As Maggie closes in on the truth, she realizes she's on the trail of a mastermind, a dark puppeteer of serial killers, whose intellect threatens to match her own. It all comes down to kill or be killed.
