I talked about doing more memes again, and here we go! There are several Friday memes floating around the book blogosphere and I have decided to join back in with most of them.

First up is Book Beginnings on Fridays, hosted by Gilion @ Rose City Reader

How it works:  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 was started by Freda @ Freda’s Voice. Freda is currently taking a break from hosting, so in the interim it is being hosted by Anne @ My Head is Full of Books.

This is how it all begins.

Throwing me over Devil’s Drop is his obsession this summer.

The first iteration of the Book Blogger Hop, which was started in March 2010 by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books, ended on December 31, 2012. On February 15, 2013, Billy reintroduced the hop with Jennifer’s approval. The hop will begin on a Friday of each week and end on a Thursday of the following week. Every week, there will be a prompt with a book-related query. The aim of the blog hop is to provide bloggers with an opportunity to follow other blogs, discover new books, make friends with other bloggers, and gain new followers for their own sites.

If you could live in any book, which one would you pick and why? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Answer:

This is a tough one, but I think I would go with Anna and the French Kiss (or Isla and the Happily Ever After) by Stephanie Perkins. I have a fascination with France (Paris, specifically) and would have loved going to an American school in France.
