Friday Reads 7th April 2017

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 did not set out to ruin my sister's debut."

Friday 56:

"It is to be hoped," Papa said, "that the Circle will lose interest in you during your absence. I care less for the scandal than for your safety."

I am only a little further on than the 56 so far so I am not yet sure what I think of this. So far it's been fun but hasn't totally blown me away? But the whole setup really intrigues me - Historical Fiction and Fantasy are two of my favourite genres so in theory this should be fantastic. The sister relationship really interests me because it seems to be a very hate/love rivalry but with some caring feelings sort of thing and that is so complex and I want more of it - but with Anna in Hungary and her sister back in England that seems unlikely which is a shame. I like Anna but she is also thoroughly annoying at times - but in a way that suggests there might be character growth later? So fingers crossed for that!! 

Have you read this? Let me know what you thought of it if you have, I'd love to know!

Question:
On a completely unrelated note - I am currently thinking of starting a weekly link up where you could link your favourite blog post from the past week (either one you are super proud of or even someone else's post that you loved), I've been really wanting to interact and discover new blogs even more and I think this would be such a fun and positive way of doing that. Please do let me know if that is something you would be interested in!!

You can also find us on Goodreads (Ann and Clare), Facebook and Instagram to keep up with what we are reading.
