Book Beginnings on Friday and The Friday 56 are weekly memes hosted by Rose City Reader and Freda's Voice.
Rules:
Book Beginnings: Share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
The Friday 56: Grab a book, turn to page 56 or 56% in you eReader. Find any sentence (not spoilery) and reflect on it if you want.
Behold my new current read:
(The River That Flows Two Ways #1)
by E. Thomas Joseph
Synopsis:
In 1777, Captain Isaac
Pearson joined the British Army when he believed the Colonial Rebellion
would be dispatched with effortless haste. Taking a few American lives
was an agreeable price for the pampered aristocrat who believed his
actions in the conflict would afford him honor and glory. Yet, the path
Captain Pearson rode was neither honorable or glorious and the price he
would pay was beyond his imaginable fortunes.
Time is the enemy of all, the hunter of the hunters whom no measures of tenacity or weaponry can defeat. Yet, in the early days of America’s war for independence Phantom Regiments, ruthless shadow units, British Redcoats, American militia and crazed me of the occult race to acquire a mysterious Iroquoian artifact which offers the capacity to defeat time. Set in New York’s Hudson Valley, the contest for time will marshal tragic desperation and horrific ends. Winter Eternal, uncovered from layers of dust, deep within the archives of America’s Untold History are the tales of the soldiers and the citizens who sell their souls to pursue the mysterious Native talisman, the Kahontsi Ehnita; the Giver of Life…A revolutionary war has begun.

Book Beginning:
The northeastern wilderness had already begun its winter rest.
A fitting start considering what the title of the book is.
The Friday 56:
Emily shook her head and teasingly asked, "Are there any presents for me?"
Taken off his guard, Dedrick instantly realized he simply did not consider bringing his wife home a gift.
He takes trips to the city often and on virtually every occasion he comes home with a souvenir. Awkwardly, he did his best to think on his feet, "Yes, of course, you think I wouldn't? Your present is my presence."
That is an awkward situation for sure and the guy's answer is not just a little bit arrogant... I'm not sure if I'll like this character.
What are you reading right now?
Enjoy your Friday!
