BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS
Unprintable by Julie Kaewert
Thank you for joining me for Book Beginnings on Fridays. Please share the opening sentence (or so) of the book you are reading this week. You can also share from a book that caught your fancy, even if you are not reading it right now.
When you read this, I will be in Athens, Greece, with my mother and sister. (Leaving my beleaguered husband home without me.) Unprintable by Julie Kaewert is one of the books I brought with me to read on vacation.
I had to schedule the post, so let's hope it works. If not, my apologies. I'll be back August 21.
MY BOOK BEGINNING
MY BOOK BEGINNING
There's nothing like the joy of placing pristine handmade paper in a press, clicking bits of type into a composing stick and breathing the exotic aroma of oil-based ink.-- from Unprintable by Julie Kaewert.
Julie Kaewert wrote a series of Un- books (Unsolicited, Uncatalogued, etc.), cozy-ish mysteries featuring Alex Plumbtree, owner of Plumtree Press. Unprintable is the only one I've read. It is the third in the series, but it doesn't seem necessary to read them in order.
The Friday 56 is a natural tie-in with Book Beginnings. The idea is to share a two-sentence teaser from page 56 of your featured book. If you are reading an ebook or audiobook, find your teaser from the 56% mark.

MY FRIDAY 56
-- from Unprintable :
Pulling up into the long drive with the crunch of gravel under the wheels, I relaxed. At least here there were no screaming hordes of journalists.
FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION
It is possibly the most repugnant piece of fiction in all of England. So why is Plumtree Press, one of the country's most respectable publishing houses, about to add the hotly controversial new novel to its list? Publisher Alex Plumtree isn't talking. Hardly anyone knows he has taken on the project as a favor to the Prime Minister.
Forget the bad press and hateful reviews. Alex swiftly finds himself on the wrong side of a lawsuit, bugged, betrayed, roughed up, and implicated in murder. Suddenly Alex doesn't know who[m] to trust.
