Today I thought I would try two new tags, the Book Beginnings and Friday 56 tag. These are two popular tags that are commonly combined as they are similar. For the Book Beginnings tag you find the first sentence, or so, of the book you're reading and add it on here. For the Friday 56 tag you find a random book and flip to the 56th page, or 56% on eReaders, and add a random sentence. There is also a variation of the Friday 56, known as Instagram 56, where you do the same thing, but you add the sentence to the picture, or the caption, it doesn't matter. I'm going to be using Rebel Belle for both of these challenges. Enjoy!
Book Beginnings by Rose City Reader"Looking back, none of this would've happened if I'd brought lip gloss the night of the Homecoming Dance."- Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins, first sentence. Intriguing, don't you think. After, reading this sentence, I was set on buying this book.Friday 56 by Freda's Voice
"First of all, I had gotten totally screwed on the "origin story" front, All superheroes have origin stories, like how Bruce Wayne's parents get killed and he goes to Tibet or whatever, and Superman is an alien, and Spider-Man had that radioactive spider. Me? I kissed a janitor in the school bathroom." Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins. This sounds really weird without the background, and knowledge of what happened beforehand.
*If you do this tag, comment below so I can see! Also, there are linkys at both websites to add your url for whichever tag you do.*
I've actually read a few of Rachel Hawkins' novels, but I've yet to check out this series. Rebel Belle does sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteSo far it's pretty cool, I'm only on page 116. It's really unique though, you should try it!
DeleteCute about the lip gloss. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the read.
Welcome to Book Beginnings. Nice Blog.
I hope to see you again each week. Try the Book Blogger Hop too if like. There is a bookish question each week to answer.
Have a good weekend.

My Book Beginnings
Thanks, I'll have to check out the Book Blogger Hop! And the lip gloss thing was pretty funny to me, makeup caused huge problems.
DeleteThat must have been some kiss! LOL Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteMy 56 - http://fuonlyknew.com/2015/11/27/the-friday-56-86-the-dead-girls-of-hysteria-hall/
Yep, it was definitely something! It is really funny though. I'll be sure to check out your post!
DeleteI can't wait to read this. It's fast approaching the top of my TBR. My 56
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should! I had completely forgotten about the book until I saw it in the store! But when I read the first line, I knew I had to get it.
DeleteI love the snark. Sounds like a delightful read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, she's really sarcastic and reminds me of Hermione. They both stick up for themselves and are intelligent. You should definitely try it if you like YA fantasy!
