Friday Memes

Friday Memes~ 1/23/2026

by Michelle

I’m jumping back into memes this year, because I always had a lot of fun with them before I tried to get all serious. Each Friday I will be linking up with a few different memes. Here we go:

First up is Book Beginnings on Fridays, hosted by Rose City Reader and First Line Friday hosted by Reading is My Superpower 

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, and is now hosted by Anne @ My Head is Full of Books.

How it works:

Grab a book, any book
*Turn to Page 56 or 56% in your Ereader
(If you want to improvise, go ahead!)
*Find a snippet, but no spoilers!
I will be using the same book each week for both of these prompts. This week’s book is: Vanessa Yu’s Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim
First Line:
I predicted the future on my third birthday.
56:

Terminal 2 at Charles de Gaulle Airport was crowded.

Next up is Book Blogger Hop hosted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer.
About Book Blogger Hop:
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.
This week’s prompt:
Which book pairs perfectly with a certain snack in your opinion?
My answer:
I honestly don’t really think about specific snacks with specific books. Though there are some books where the characters have specific snacks or meaningful food that they enjoy, so eating that snack would be appropriate with the book. Such as Oreos with Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda, or french fries with Better Than Revenge. And of course if the food is in the title, you could definitely pair that, like donuts with Donut Fall in Love or cupcakes with How to Eat a Cupcake.
