Book Beginnings is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you 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. Please remember to include the title of the book and the author’s name.
The Friday 56 is a meme hosted every Friday by Freda's Voice.
The Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It's that simple.
Both my Book Beginning and my Friday 56 are from William Goldman's The Princess Bride.My Book Beginning:
"This is my favourite book in all the world, though I have never read it."
"My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches."
I love the movie adaptation for The Princess Bride and read the book years ago, I should really reread it. Great teasers!
ReplyDeleteIt's my all time favourite for both movie and book. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I read the book or watched the movie. Great reminder of why I loved both.
ReplyDeleteI've never read the book or seen the movie. I think I need to fix that. LOL

Yes! You should definitely either read it or watch it or both! Everyone I know loves it.
DeleteI love the 56.

Thank you!
DeleteI have watched this movie so many times I can basically recite it but I'm not sure I ever read the book. I remember starting it but I'm not sure if I finished it. I'll definitely have to fix that!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with the movie. I watch it a good few times each year!
DeleteI've seen the movie more than once but never read the book. Sounds like I need to get a copy!
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features WHAT WE KEEP.
Yes, you should it's a brilliant book. My favourite!
DeleteLove the 56!
ReplyDeleteI never read the book but am a big fan of the film!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
The book is amazing! But I do love them both equally which is unusual for me .
DeleteGrew up with the movie so I'm a little nervous about the book lol..
ReplyDeleteHonestly I can't recommend the book highly enough!
