After a long break, I'm back, and glad it's Friday - weekend, yay!
On Fridays we get to link up with other book people and share our favourite things.
BookBeginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and The Friday 56 - hosted by Freda’s Voice are where you'll find them. Both involve sharing excerpts from a current book - the beginning and - you guessed it - page 56.

My book this week is
Conclave by Robert Harris
Robert Harris writes so well, and you are drawn in from that opening paragraph.
What do you think? Which cover? There's no doubt in my mind.
One hundred and eighteen cardinals locked into the Vatican. No links with the world until they fulfil their holy mission of electing the new pope.
One secret revealed, then a twist, then a dagger in the back. It's as addictive as a soap. A political thriller with a difference, I loved this book. Read my review here.
Happy reading everyone.
Welcome back, Bev!

The first cover is an eye catcher for sure. I'd love if you and your readers would check out mine ... http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsGTS
ReplyDeleteI think I actually love the 2nd cover more - something about it just grabs my attention - though the 1st cover is very striking - I do like the sound of this book - haven't read anything by this author - so I'll be adding it to my list - I think I like the contrast between the

ReplyDeleteI'm voting with most of the others. The first cover grabs you. Interesting premise for a political thriller, too. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued. So very intrigued. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAt first I wasn't sure that this was for me but after that brief synopsis I need to read this! I'll be sure to check out your review :)
