Wyrd & Wonder 2025 - The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Shadows of Self (Mistborn #5) by Brandon Sanderson

  

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!  In honor of Wyrd & Wonder 2025 (a month long celebration of all things fantasy co-hosted by Lisa @ Dear Geek Place, imyril @ There’s Always Room For One More, Ariana @ The Book Nook, Annemieke @ A Dance With Books, and Jorie @ Jorie Loves A Story with artwork by Yuri Arcurs Photography), all of my Friday posts this month will feature my one of my Wyrd & Wonder 2025 reads.  This week I'm spotlighting Shadows of Self (Mistborn #5) by Brandon Sanderson.  I really loved book four, so I have have high hopes for this follow up.

Beginning:

Waxillium Ladrium, lawman for hire, swung off his horse and turned to face the saloon.

56:

Yup.  There he was, bowl-head himself, crouching beside a rubbish pile, waiting to see if anyone followed him.
