On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice, 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 Pride Month 2022 books, The Grimrose Girls (Grimrose Girls #1) by Laura Pohl. I've really enjoyed what I've read from Laura Pohl in the past and so far I'm enjoying it.
Beginning:
The first day of school started with a funeral.
56:
"You aren't staying for the reception?" Ella asked. "They'll have food."
Have you read this book? As always, thanks for visiting and perhaps even commenting down below!
Sounds like an interesting book, quite dark. I haven't read a dark one in a while.
