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, Clytemmestra by Costanza Casati. It's been a long time since I've read this author, but I remember enjoying his style of fantasy.
Beginning:
Clytemnestra looks down at the steep ravine but can see no trace of dead bodies.
56:
Fallen leaves cover the wet sand of the gymnasium. [p. 57 as 56 is blank]
Are you participating in this challenge? Have you read this book? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
I've added and subtracted this book from my reading list several times. Now with these quotes I'm feeling even less certain that I want to read it. What are your impressions so far?
