The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Incidents Around The House by Josh Malerman

 

  

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 my July Year In Aeldia 2025, The Boardgame book, Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman.  I've heard so many great things about it and these snippets sure sound intriguing.

Beginning:

Good night, Daddo!

Good night, Mommy!

Mommy and Daddo leave my room.

I pull the covers up to my chin.

Other Mommy comes out of the closet.

Hi, I say.

I'm so excited to see you again.

56:

I wanna get changed really fast, but all I can do is stare at the tub.  Other Mommy was in there when Daddo was in here last.  And if she's not in there now, and if she's not in the closet... where is she?

Are you taking part in this challenge?  Have you read this book?  As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
