The Friday 56 (With Book Beginning): Vengeful (Villains #2) by V.E. Schwab + 50/50 Friday

On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, Book Beginnings, hosted by Rose City Reader, and 50/50 Friday is a new weekly link up and it is hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader and Laura @ Blue Eye Books. 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. Then, for 50/50 Friday, every week there's a new topic featuring two sides of the same coin - you share a book that suits each category and link up on the hosts blogs.

This week I'm spotlighting one of my first Pride Month read, Vengeful (Villains #2) by V.E. Schwab.  I absolutely loved book one and I'm so glad to report that I'm already loving this sequel.

Beginning:

The night Marcella died, she made her husbands favorite dinner.

56:

June straightened, blew out a short breath, put away the wire.

50/50 Friday: Best/ Worst Beach Read

Best - Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett - I loved this, especially considering how much the two leads are classic movie fans.

The Art of Not Breathing by Sarah Alexander - This could have been as addicting as We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, but it never quite lived up to my expectations.


Have you read any of these books?  What are you reading this weekend?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
