Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader. The idea is to share a sentence or so from the first page and the 56th page of the book you are currently reading!
Book Beginning:
"I disembarked a train at the little log depot at Gordon Bay, Oregon, and a sudden force - a charging bull - immediately slammed me to the ground."
Friday 56:
"I nodded and smiled, but inwardly I shouted, Holy hell! Why on earth is this astounding girl stuck in a one-room school-house in the middle of Nowhere, Oregon?"
I am currently about 30% through this and really enjoying it so far. It's a bit different in feel from her Young Adult books but I love both her styles so that's not a problem. I really adore the main character and I am totally sucked in by the mystery at this point. I'm definitely excited to see where this story is going!
I always like a good mystery. Love the cover on this one! And that opening sentence is interesting- is it the weather or something else that knocks her down? Makes me curious. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this cover too! Really loving the mystery so far!
DeletePretty cover. I'm with Greg. I first thought the weather, but then I let my imagination run with it. LOL

Afraid it is just the weather! No literal charging bulls - it is one heck of a storm though!
DeleteOoh it sounds really interesting :)
ReplyDeleteCora @ Tea Party Princess
It is! I love Cat Winters' books!
DeleteInteresting beginning. I wonder what happened. And the cover is intriguing too.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday 56 from Deadly Silence
Its definitely been very interesting so far! And I really love this cover!
DeleteCat Winters is one of my favorite authors, but I somehow managed to forget that this book was soon to be a thing! XD Now I need to go look it up on Goodreads, again--thanks so so much for sharing and reminding me!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday 56, if you're interested! No worries if you're not, though! Either way, happy book-ing to you in the future, and happy Friday!
Ah! Glad I could remind you - it would be a shame to miss a Cat Winters book!
DeleteI've never read this author...but I love mysteries, and the cover of this one grabbed me. And so did that beginning!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy...and here's mine: “STEALING JASON WILDE”
Cat Winters is a great author! Definitely recommend her books!
Deletesounds really interesting
ReplyDeleteIt's a great read so far!
DeleteThis sounds great. Thanks for sharing. My Friday read is After You by Jojo Moyes.
ReplyDeleteIt is so far! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteA charging bull? WTH?! Pulled me right in! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not a real charging bull! That would have been very exciting!! Although possibly slightly more deadly.
DeleteI absolutely adore every single one of Cat Winters' novels - The Cure for Dreaming the least, In the Shadow of Blackbirds the most. This one became another favorite of mine - glad you're enjoying it so far, and hope you'll love the whole thing. :)
ReplyDeletePS: If you want to chat about it afterwards just DM me on Twitter (@VVeronika96) - IDK any other Cat Winters fans. :|
