The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Our Wicked Histories by Amy Goldsmith

 

  

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 Anne'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 Halloween Reads 2025 books, Our Wicked Histories by Amy Goldsmith.  It sounds like the perfect time to read this YA horror story to me.

Beginning:

Rain spattered aggressively at the oval window as the plane sped furiously down the runway at Shannon Airport, the sky overhead a flat, foreboding gray.

56:

Nobody said anything for a couple of seconds, the only sounds our combined hastening breathing and the steady patter of the rain against the windows.

Have you read this book?  What are you reading for the spooky season?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting below!
