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:
"A demon was knitting outside the hospital."
Friday 56:
"A shudder tore through her and she found herself rubbing at her bare arms, her hands, her wrists, trying to wipe away the sensation of fur and flesh."
I've only just started this (literally one chapter in) but I am enjoying it so far. I really like that first sentence because it's so incongruous - demons knitting is not what I expected so it's certainly made an impression on me! I don't know what's happening in the second quote yet but it sounds intense.
*shiver* That is a great line. It definitely got my attention, and from the sounds of this, I need to add it and find it. :)
