Book Beginnings: April 27, 2012

This meme is hosted by Rose City Reader

How to participate: Share the first line (or two) of the book you are currently reading. Include the title and the author so we know what you're reading. Then, if you feel so moved, let us know what your first impressions were based on that first line, and let us know if you liked or did not like the sentence. The link-up will be at Rose City Reader every Friday.

"Bev says when she is on stage she feels the world holding its breath for her. She feels electric, louder than a thousand wailing sirens, more powerful than God."

I got this book last week when I met Nina Lacour at an author event.
