The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): The Fragile Threads of Power (Threads of Power #1) by V.E. Schwab
On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by Freda's Voice (Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books is currently managing hosting duties), 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.
Beginning:
White London
Seven Years Ago
It came in handy, being small.
People talked of growing up like it was some grand accomplishment, but small bodies could slip through narrow gaps, and hide in tight corners, and get in and out of places other bodies wouldn't fit.
56:
Maris Patrol had very few vices.
She likes jewel figs and silk sheets, pure silver and secrets.
Have you read this book? Are you taking part in this readathon? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I haven't read a V.E. Schwab's novel in a while. I did see that this book came out, and it seems interesting. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI love that quote from page 56. "She liked jewel figs and silk sheets..." I wonder if I could consolidate my likes down to one divine sentence?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good question!
DeleteI think this book has a strong beginning. I'm not participating in the readathon because somehow I missed hearing about it. I think I'll see what else I can find out!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this yet but I want to, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you do as well.
