The rules are simple for both. For the Friday 56, we turn to page 56 or 56% in our e-reader and highlight a passage of any book! Book Beginnings is where you feature the first sentence (or so) of a book and give your thoughts and impressions.
Friday 56
So this is a pretty silly quote, but it's on page 56 of Brave New Girl by Rachel Vincent. The two main characters are not allowed to talk to each other, and yet Trigger continues to talk to Dahlia. He brings her a carrot from when of his missions outside the city, which Dahlia will never leave. As I'm writing this (on Thursday), I'm almost done with the book. It's not the best thing ever, but I am having a lot of fun with it!
Book Beginnings
This is the opening line to Diary of a Teenage Jewel Thief, written by Rosie Somers. I just got this through Netgalley, so keep in mind that not all quotes are final. The novel opens up with our protagonist, Marisol, scaling up the side of museum to steal one of their jewels. As you could probably take from the title, Marisol is a jewel thief. The opening really hooked me in, and I read 30 percent of the book in one sitting. I hope to finish the rest by tomorrow. Also, this image took SO long to make, and I'm so proud (too the point of it being too much) of it. I had to use two different and new to me software to make it. It's not perfect by any means, but I like how it turned out!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!
Happy Reading!
