Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - May 8th




This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join on the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it here.

It's that simple.






I'm also joining in Book Beginnings on Friday. It's hosted by Rose City Reader.


I just started reading this one....

  7. When I leave my job, I want to go quietly without any big fanfare. I really like both teasers you shared, Yvonne. I haven't tried any of Andrews' books, but I've been wanting to. I hope you enjoy it! Have a great week.
