Hello! Thanks for popping in Five on Friday. Let's see what we have today ~
1. Paris Olympics
It's finally here - the 2024 Summer Olympics! Today you will be able to watch the spectacular opening ceremony held along the River Seine. It has been strongly hinted that Celine Dion and Lady Gaga will be there to perform a duet. The games run through August 11 and will feature a wide range of sports, including the new additions of breaking (breakdancing) and skateboarding. Let the games begin!
Chris Whitaker's new book, All the Colors of the Dark, was picked by the Read with Jenna Book Club, and sounds so fascinating. Here's the summary ~
1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.
When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.
Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.
A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

5. I love books...
Have a great weekend! We are headed to Memphis to visit family and meet our newest great-niece. See you next week!
Oh that last one SO applies to me; in fact my mom just gave me another book to read this morning and I added it to the pile in/on my nightstand. I just have 5 library books to finish up first... and the two on hold... and...
ReplyDeleteI am just awful about reading the books I own. I need a deadline I guess. There is nothing like a library due date to get me to read a book in a day or a two!
