The Friday 56 #Friday56 #bookblogger

The Friday 56 is sponsored by Freda’s Voice.

* Grab a book, any book.

*Turn to Page 56 or 56% on your e-reader.
If you have to improvise, that is okay.

*Find a snippet, short and sweet, and post it.

The rules are here: Friday56 Rules.

I’m currently reading Mustique Island by Sarah McCoy. You can click on the cover to find out more about the book. This snippet starts at the end of page 56 and goes into page 57. It’s a perfect description of a person so that by the end of it we know what he looks like, as well as his entire personality.

“The rest of the royal party disembarked. Anne introduced Willy May to the entourage: Jean, the princess’s cousin, Janie, wife to Queen magazine’s owner, and Patrick, the Earl of Lichfield, a professional photographer. Patrick was sporty lean and handsome as the devil. His hair was flaxen and feathered back against the wind like wheat at full harvest. He stood wide-legged confident in khaki pants and a white cotton shirt as if he’d just debarked an Admiral Cup-winning ship and not a pedestrian ferry.”

Please feel free to share your page 56 or 56% of your chosen book below. I’d love to see it.

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

  1. His voice came from the darkness. “Aye. And they meant nothing to me, once I had them, or less than nothing. And if your gold pays for the king over the water to come back to us and rule us and bring about a land of joy and prosperity and warmth, it will still mean nothing to you. it will be as something you heard of that happened to a man in a tale.” Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman
