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 going to hopefully have finished Carry On today and then I will be reading the Bloodlines series. These sound good and they are about Adrian so I cannot wait to read them soon.
Book Beginning & Friday 56
"I walk to the bus station by myself. There's always a fuss over my paperwork when I leave. All summer long, we're not allowed to walk to Tescos without a chaperone and permission from the queen - then in the autumn, I just sign myself out of the children's home and go."
I love Carry On so much it is such an amazing book and I recommend that you all read it.
"I'm not religious, it's a talisman."
I could have honestly chosen any sentence from the whole of page 56. I just picked the first one that I spotted straight away.
Clare:
I actually have a very free weekend this week so I think I am going to do pretty much nothing but read. I find it very hard to sleep on Halloween for some reason so I am probably going to spend all night reading/watching films. I want to read A Thousand Nights and Hold Me Like a Breath. Then for Halloween itself I want to be reading the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children trilogy. I think this will be perfect for Halloween night.
Book Beginning & Friday 56
"We do not know why we came from the sea to this hard and dusty earth, but we know that we are better than it."
"Spinning is a dreamer's craft, and I wished to dream of my sister, and of a place that was not so closed and full of fear."I really like the beautiful, dreamy quality to the writing in this and I am looking forward to reading more!
These excerpts are definitely tempting...now I want to know more! Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI am looking to finding out more about my read definitely! It seems like I will love it! Thanks for visiting
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Enjoy your reading weekend.
Have a great day!
Hopefully they will be! Thanks for visiting
DeleteCarry On sounds very interesting - not sure I like the cover but the story itself sounds good -
ReplyDeleteLove the cover for all three of Clare's choices - A Thousand Nights sounds interesting too. Thanks for visiting My Friday Post
I read Carry On just before Ann did and loved it! And the A Thousand Nights cover is so beautiful. I am kind of obsessed with it! Hopefully the story itself will be just as great! Thanks for visiting
DeleteWhat a great bunch of books. I loved the Bloodlines series. I also really liked A Thousand Nights. I am spotlighting Young Widows Club by Alexandra Coutts this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love Bloodlines too! I hope Ann does. It's very different from Vampire Academy but still great. I have only just started A Thousand Nights but I am liking it so far! Thanks for visiting
DeleteThese both sound really good! Carry On is on my TBR and I loved the one Rainbow Rowell I've read. I love the cover for A Thousand Nights and the sound of it as well. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCarry On is brilliant I am so tempted to reread it. We both love the cover of A Thousand Nights it is gorgeous.
DeleteI have Fangirl sitting on my shelf so I think I would try that one first before I got any more of Rainbow Rowell's books.
ReplyDeleteYeah Clare told me to read Fangirl first but I forgot. I will have to read it soon! Carry On is amazing!
DeleteNice selection of books. I've got Carry On on my wish list...hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI am loving it! It is one of the best books that I have read this year.
DeleteThanks for sharing and for stopping by our blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting our blog! I hope you liked it and maybe found so interesting new books to read.
DeleteI want to get my hands on A Thousand Nights, I saw a few picture of it on Tumblr and it's so pretty. Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteClare and I both love the cover. Whenever I am in her room I always get the urge to just get it out and stare at it.
DeleteBoth are appealing. Love the cover for A Thousand Nights. I see a few to add to my reading list.
