It's Friday . . . time to share excerpts book excerpts with:
- Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, where bloggers share the first sentence or more of a current read, as well as initial thoughts about the sentence(s), impressions of the book, or anything else that the opening inspires.
- The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice, where you grab a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% of an ebook), find one or more interesting sentences (no spoilers), and post them.
Today I'm featuring:

New York Times bestselling novelist M.J. Rose is a meticulous researcher and masterful author of historic fiction, as anyone who has read her Recarnationist series can attest to. The Witch of Painted Sorrows is the first in a new series entitled Daughters of La Lune.
