It wasn't until I walked around one of the card tables that I saw him. He was lying on the concrete floor in a dark puddle, one leg crumbled under him at an odd angle, his chest a bloody ruin. It was Brian Vanderhall.

Book Beginnings

I should have known better than to let him in. Brian Vanderhall showed up on my doorstep in the falling snow wearing flip-flops, track shorts, and an old MIT T-shirt, the breath steaming from his mouth in little white gusts. It would have saved me a lot of trouble if I had slammed the door in his face, never mind the cold. Instead, like a fool, I stepped aside.

    That's definitely a memorable cover. The opening makes me curious about Brian Vanderhall, and I'm wondering why he's dead in your Friday 56 choice. Intriguing!
    Thank you for hosting us.

    Between the 56 and the Beginning I have so many questions! Brian Vanderhall doesn't sound like the most popular of people!

    The quotes make it seem like a murder thriller, but the book cover is kind of creepy and sci-fi. I am guilty of often choosing books for the cover first.

    Well, that was unexpected! I am guessing we are in a casino-esque setting so I'm going with gang-crime! I'd be much more disturbed if I found someone's broken body on my floor! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
