Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice, the idea is to grab a book, turn to page 56 (or 56% in an e-book) and find any sentence (no spoilers!) and then post it. Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are currently reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence and impressions about the book.
Ann:
I am planning on reading hopefully a lot this weekend so I am hoping to read the Bloodlines series this weekend and possibly start Throne of Glass. I am also aiming to read about 20-30 pages of The Turn of the Screw. I am also reading Texts From Jane Eyre which Clare just finished and really liked.
Book Beginnings:
"After a year of slavery in the Salt Mines of Endovier, Celaena Sardothien was accustomed to being escorted everywhere in shackles and at sword-point."
Friday 56:
I love the sound of these books and am very excited to read them."A person can have more than one Shawl. a person cannot be content with but one white Shawl." - Jane Eyre
Clare:
I am aiming to read about 50 pages of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, this weekend. Although I am definitely enjoying the story, there is a lot of description and it's quite difficult to read any large chunks of it at a time so I am taking it slowly. I have just started Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt as well as Twitter Girl by Nic Tatano. I read e-books faster (usually) than I do physical books so I am also hoping to read Someone Else's Fairytale and For the Record both of which I have heard great things about!
I know that the main character in Hold Me Like a Breath bruises very easily so she can't be touched or something along those lines. So that's probably what the pity in Carter's eyes is but I am intrigued to learn more.
Book Beginnings:
"@TwitterGirlTornado whips through Mississippi trailer park, causes three million dollars worth of improvements."
Friday 56:
"When Carter turned on the musical score I shut my eyes so I wouldn't have to see the pity in his."I love that Twitter Girl starts off with a tweet, I haven't heard much about this book so I am not sure what to expect but I do like books that involve social media.

I've seen some of the other Texts from books and they do sound tempting! :)

DeleteI totally want to read a text book by a literary character. Sounds fun. My Friday Quotes,
ReplyDeleteI have only read a few pages but I am loving it!
DeleteThrone of Glass is my favorite series. Love those books, and I really love how Celaena loves pretty dresses and sharp knives, and is a total book nerd.

DeleteTexts from Jane Eyre sounds really interesting. I'd love to see the author's take on different literary figures. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI read it just before Ann and I loved it. I loved the take on figures like Daisy Miller!
DeleteGood luck with all your reading plans. I'm hoping to have a good reading weekend too to make up for a not so good reading week. I have Soundless by Richelle Mead this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI was feeling a bit slumpy towards the end of this week but I am hoping my reading will pick up this weekend! I have some great looking books lined up so fingers crossed.
DeleteI loved Throne of Glass!
