Friday Memes...August 8

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. I'm reading:

 Book: The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg

Book Beginning:
Pulaski, Wisconsin, June 28, 2010. 'A few years ago, if someone had told me that I would be at this reunion today, I wouldn't have believed them in a million years...And yet, here I am!'---Mrs. Earle Poole, Jr.
Friday 56:
Who would name their child Ginger? We had a golden retriever named Ginger.
Comment:
The Book Beginning quote comes from the epigram at the beginning of the book but it isn't from someone famous. It is by the main character in the book. Flagg is so clever. Page 56 is actually right at the point in the story when the plot unfolds so my quote is a little obtuse so as to not give anything away.
