Book Beginnings on Fridays/The Friday 56 - January 18th




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.


This week I'm reading...




Beginnings......

The emptiness rolled in quietly, like a thick, cold fog. A hollow ache of longing so insidious that I didn't notice its arrival until I'd been consumed by it. The yoga teachings give it a name: dukha. An empty cavity. A hole in the heart.

In my case, dukha was a black hole I never knew existed. It hadn't existed, in fact, until the day I witnessed the birth of Rene's twins, Alice and Amelia. Since then, dukha had grown into a yawning cavern that devoured all of my enthusiasm - all of my passion. A cavern I desperately hoped to fill.


Friday 56...

From page 56 on my Kindle...

"Take a look at this place. Do I look like I can afford some fancy attorney?"

  2. The opening lines make me curious about what is happening with her. Is she sad because she now wants something she never had?

    Enjoy, and here's mine: “THE LIAR’S ROOM”
