Happy Friday!
Today I'm once again participating in six blog hops. You can click on the host links below to find the blogs of others who are participating in each blog hop. If you're a blogger, feel free to join through the host links.
Question: What is your favorite bookish scent, and why does it appeal to you?
My response: That "new book" scent is always fun when I start reading one that's a physical copy. It makes me excited about the new adventure that's ahead of me.
In honor of National Whiskey Day, today's excerpts are from the paperback format of Whiskey Business (Mixology Lounge Mystery 1), by Adrian Andover.
I rested my blowtorch on the bar.
And here's an excerpt from page 56:
If Kristin wasn't willing to share more about him and why he was so good at making enemies, I wondered why she went out of her way to chat with me.
I won a signed copy of this book last year and I'm so excited to finally read it. I met the author at Malice Domestic last year, before the book was published. This year, the book is nominated for an Agatha Award. I'll report back when I'm done, but so far, I'm loving it!
I don't have a lot of pictures of the girls together, but when I do get one, this is the vibe.
The first picture was taken on March 19th. The second picture was taken about one week later. These are some of my favorite spring flowers to see on my walks.
Starting a book with a blowtorch reference is bound to pique interest.
ReplyDeleteSome kitties coexist in a house together, and that's about all they do.
The flowers are amazing.
Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
Thank you for always hosting! :)
DeleteWhisky business looks good.
ReplyDeleteA cute picture of the cats and beautiful flowers.
I like new book smell too.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you, Emily! You too! :)
DeleteNice to see the girls together, even if they are keeping an eye on each other. Those flowers are so pretty and dainty.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's always a win when they sit (sort of) together. :)
DeleteI wonder who is speaking in the Friday56 blurb. Guess I'll have to read the book to find out.
ReplyDeleteIt's the narrator (the main character and amateur sleuth). :-)
DeleteI love "new book" scent. I don't read many physical books anymore though. Since I'm mostly an e-reader now I don't get the scent anymore. Love the pic of the kitties. They are so cute. Whiskey Business is on my TBR. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yvonne! I am enjoying Whiskey Business. :)
