Friday Linkups - Giltter Bomb

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 Hop Question:

If you were able to dress up as a literary figure for Halloween who would it be?

My Answer:

Nancy Drew!  Especially if I could drive the blue roadster.  Or maybe Ariadne Oliver from Agatha Christie's Poirot books.  

This week's book is the newest in a long time favorite series.  I think I discovered Laura Childs' scrapbooking series back when I originally discovered cozies more than a decade ago.  They're so fun and the addition of Terri Farley Moran a co-writer has only made the series even better.  So when I saw Glitter Bomb was released there was no way I could resist!

The Beginning:
"Lookit!" Ava cried.  "There's your butthead of an ex-husband riding up there on the King Neptune float."

My Thoughts:
I do love that this mystery is taking place over Mardi Gras.

The 56:
"This looks like the beginning of an exciting Hardy Boys adventure," Carmela said.  "But is there a legitimate reason for my being here?"

My Thoughts:
Okay so this was technically page 58 but this line made me laugh so I had to use it.  I love  Carmela's sarcasm here.

What do you think?  Keep reading?  What literary character or author would you dress up like?
