Book Beginnings & Friday 56 -- The Bronze and the Brimstone by Lory S. Kaufman

Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by A Few More Pages. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence, or two, of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.

"Why don't I feel any pain?"



The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice. Check out the rules and join in the fun.

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
Turn to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog. Post a link along with your post back to this blog.

"This one question," Calabreezi insisted. "I watched the men building the first saltpeter bed today and it looks like they're doing it wrong."

Hansum acted as if he were about to speak, then feigned another yawn.

 
My review for this one will be up June 11.

  4. Does he really _want_ to feel pain? Looks like a good one--that cover is especially eye-catching.
