Book Beginnings and Friday 56 – 10/11/13

Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda’s Voice.    I noticed these memes and thought it would be interesting to do both.  Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week.  This is the book I’m currently reading.

Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman

Book Beginnings:

International baggage claim in the Brussels airport was large and airy, with multiple carousels circling endlessly.  I scurried from one to another, desperately trying to find my black suitcase.  Because it was stuffed with drug money, I was more concerned than one might normally be about lost luggage.

Friday 56:

The bitter violator who had previously been locked up at Danbury snorted. “Miss Slick.  Don’t expect to see her again, except for fifteen minutes every other Thursday on the line.  She talks a good game, but she might as well not be here.  She don’t run this place.  That zero-tolerance shit? Just remember this, ladies…it’s gonna be your word against theirs.”
