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 The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro.  I've had this one my tbr for way too long, so it'll be good just to check it off my list.

Beginning:

You would have searched a long time for the sort of winding lane or tranquil meadow for which England later became celebrated.

56:

In time the path straightened and they found themselves walking beside the perimeter fence they had seen from the hill.
