The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

 

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books, 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 Beat The Backlist 2025 and Read Around the World Challenge - Europe in 2025 books, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.  I've been meaning to read this for ages, so I'm glad I'm finally going to tackle it.

Beginning:

I still remember the day my father took me to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books for the first time.

56:

"Do you have other books by Carax?"
