On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, and Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader. For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.
Happy Friday everyone! This week I'm spotlighting one of my current Trope-ical Readathon books, The Trials of Koli (Rampart Trilogy #2) by M.R. Carey. I loved book one in this trilogy and I'm so glad to be back!
Beginning:
There come a time, by and by, when I feared we was not going to get to London at all.
56:
There was a room called the music room, though I didn't hear any music there. And one called the dressing room, that had no clothes in it. And a third that was called the blue room. I don't remember at this remove what colour the walls were, but they were not blue.
Are you participating in this readathon? Have you read this book? What are you reading this weekend? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down
I am especially drawn to the 56. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing.
