It's Friday linkup time! I'm linking up with the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice
This Week's Book Blogger Hope Question:When meeting with friends, do your discussions usually turn to books?
My Answer:
Not really. I don't know all that many people who really read and the subject doesn't really come up.
The Beginning:
I will always remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard that my father had died.
My Thoughts:
This does seem like it would be a pivotal moment in your life so I can easily see this being the case.
The 56:
"Never let your fear decide your destiny"
I knew then that the seven words Pa Salt had left me could not described me and who I was anymore accurately.
My Thoughts:
I'm not sure I'd really want to hear this about myself - especially if it was delivered by someone so close to me.
So what do you think? Keep reading?
That is good you have us to chat about books with. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I haven't heard of this book before. I hope you enjoy it. I usually confine my talks about books to my blogs and online life. I'm featuring Falling Star by Terri Osburn - a romance from my review stack - this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very hard-hitting beginning! I think that would be something that would definitely be etched in your memory. I hope that you continue to enjoy this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have anyone to chat with either except my online friends. :) Not heard of the book your reading so glad you are enjoying it.

I like the sound of this one...and I have some of those moments that are unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
This one sounds like a good one. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying this one. Hope the rest of the novel is satisfying. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOn my list for this year!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good! Love the cover! Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteChatting books - well, I have my book group friends - two groups - those are lovely times. I also talk about books with my husband sometimes or my daughter, but not so much other friends. I'm a little obsessed for most of them. And then there are my friends from the blogging world and also pre-blogging times. Those (all of you) are 'my people'. You guys understand. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis starts with a very poignant statement. I know I remember for sure. I would love for you and your readers to check out mine! https://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviews32318
ReplyDeleteI think I can remember what I was doing when my father-in-law died. Moments like those are so pivotal, like you said. My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteSadly, I relate to that beginning all too well. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I would definitely keep reading! That sounds very intriguing. Have a great weekend. - Katie
ReplyDeleteI only have a few friends and family members that I talk books with. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post and here is my link to my blog hop answer.

I think I would keep reading. It sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of The Seven Sisters but haven't read it. I really want to though.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that many of my conversations with others turn to books either.
Glad to hear that you're enjoying your new read so far.
ReplyDeleteSame with me and the IRL friends. They might ask me what I'm reading, or tell me what they are reading, but there is really no discussion. :)
ReplyDeleteI ask people IRL what they're reading but that's about as far as it goes. TG for book blogs, GR, etc!
ReplyDeleteI read one of the other books in the Seven Sisters series. It was good so I hope you enjoy this one.
It depends on who I am talking to. Some friends like to read, others don't.
ReplyDeletePretty cover. Here all convos go to pets and books. lol I'm glad my friends are readers for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've seen this come and go so often at the library I almost want to give it a try to see what it's all about. :)

I really liked this one, also, Katherine:). I hope you have now completed it (I'm really, really behind with my comments) and went on enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes but not all the time. Most of my friends know I write as a hobby, and some even share our content with each other. We talk about the popular books, like Harry Potter, hardly about Twilight, love triangles, and other general book ideas. But since we hardly see each other regularly, we mostly catch up with our daily lives. We're all book fans and book lovers, but we hardly find opportunities to talk books unless it's something we've all read. My BBH
