It is where you share a sentence from the 56th page or 56% of your ereader and thoughts/impression without spoiling.

This week is I am Rembrandt's Daughter by Lynn Cullen.

Book Begginnings:

"All those years living across the canal from the New Maze Park, and I never did make it inside." 

Who is this girl that is restricted and doesn't get to do things? What is this New Maze Park that is important?

Friday 56:

"'Maybe you ought to let Titus talk to him first, now that their ties are stronger.' 'No need. I will let my painting do the talking.'"

This person wants another to do something, but they won't, why? What painting is so great that it can talk? Why is Titus close to them and another man who judges paintings?

This week is on The Girl with Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rosetti.

Book Beginnings

"I am unlike most other people because I began, not in the body of my mother, but in the brain of my father."

This book starts out with a rather direct statement being completely honest and a bit redundant. You want to see what the character actually is, and what she means by being a brain child quite literally. How does this affect her life?

The Friday 56

"He didn't know that there was a full-fledged battle being fought on my back, between the imaginary wings and the itch where I could feel my father's eternally pointing finger digging into my skin."

This makes you wonder who this mysterious stranger is as he does not know her. What wings is she referring to as she struggles with some mental barricade put up by her father. Why is he so controlling? How does this girl deal with her imagination?

I am doing Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 on Defy.

Book Beginning
"The crackle and hiss of the flames devouring our house couldn't block out the screaming and wailing of those who were still alive." 

This just makes you see a house going up in flames. The deafening roar is trying to make you forget the people who are still with you. Something is wrong and you as a reader most find out why the flames are lit and why people are screaming.

The Friday 56
"He must have some by his side at all times. We can take no chances with the life of the heir to the throne."

You realize that something is off. That someone is in danger and that person is an important person to the kingdom/country. You must find out why the person must be guarded at all times, especially a prince.

See you later guys! Have fun watching the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi!
