Book Beginnings and The Friday 56, November 7, 2014


I'm linking up with Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and Freda's Voice for Page 56. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Pick the closest book on your book stack and join the fun.


The Beginning:

"You know that saying about lighting never strikes twice in the same place? Well, I'm living proof that it's totally false."

Page 56

"Besides, the radio was sure to get nothing but evangelical channels and pass reports this far deep into the mountains, and the pain in his head was bad enough as it was."

From Time Thief by Katie MacAlister. This has been on my TBR shelf for a long time. I purchased it when I came out in May of 2013 and am just getting around to reading it.

From Goodreads:

Outcast due to their ability to manipulate time, shunned by the mortal and immortal worlds alike, a Traveller’s life is anything but easy.

Peter Faa is a member of the Watch tracking down a murderer, and unfortunately, all clues seem to point toward his own estranged family of Travellers. Any of his cousins could be guilty, but which one? They’re all experts in the art of stealing time...

After surviving a lightning strike, Kiya Mortenson is determined to get just one thing in her life right. And if that means taking a job as nanny to five pugs on a campsite in the Oregon wilderness, then so be it. It doesn’t hurt that the job comes with some spectacular male eye candy, including her new boss’s gorgeous grandson. If only she didn’t keep having this strange sense of deja vu...

When Peter discovers his own family is stealing time from Kiya, all bets are off. While she may drive him crazy at times, it’s clear that it’s not just lightning that’s creating some serious sparks between them. And he’s not going to let secrets, lies, or a devious murderer keep Kiya from where she belongs: at his side.

Book Beginnings, December 6, 2012


Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.


"You know that saying about lightning never strikes twice in the same place?  Well, I'm the living proof that it's totally false."

From Time Thief by Katie MacAlister.  This is the first book in a new series and has been on my TBR pile about 3 weeks.  I have gotten as far as the first two sentences.  Of course by the time you read this I will have read a lot more.


This is the front of my house at 5:00 a.m. today.  We have 6 inches of snow and it is still coming down.  This is the south so we just stay home when this happens.  Good thing to because all of the streets that would take me out to the highway are closed.
