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! This week I'm spotlighting one of my Beat The Backlist 2025 books, Roses in Red Wax (Darnalay Castle #1) by Louise Mayberry. One of my friends gave me this a little while ago and while historical romance isn't normally my thing. the setting does sound intriguing.
Beginning:
DARNALAY CASTLE, NORTHEAST SCOTLAND
JUNE 1818
"Marry me, Janie." His smile was as bright as the sun itself.
56:
"There's an orchard. Near the village where I grew up." She spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully.

DeleteI'm not participating in this challenge and I've never read the book, but I hope you enjoy it when you get around to reading it. Historical fiction can be really entertaining.
