"Maybe today was the day I wanted a fucking burger."  ~ From Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult -- my husband's current read.

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Becky at Page Turners. 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. If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.

 Family curses never die, they just mutate.  ~Wicked Game by Jeri-Smith

Just started this one last night and it's fun -- even though I'm not normally a vampire-genre-kind-of-girl.   From the back cover:

Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life, even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job.  She takes an internship at a local radio station, whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues, '60s psychedelia, '80s goth, and more, all with an uncannily authentic flair.  Ciara soon discovers just how the DJs maintain their cred:  they're vampires, stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned.
