I am so close to being done, well, over 100 pages that is, with my latest book, but not quite ready to review. So, once again this week I’m going to participate in Friday 56, sponsored by Freda’s Voice. Here are the rules:
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It’s that simple.
So here is mine for the week:
“The house was so quiet I didn’t expect anyone to be there. Simon was at the table. Except for the stove and the table, ever surface in that kitchen – and some of the floor – was covered with some kind of container, all of them filled with water. That was weird, but I didn’t want to go there. I saw; I did not want to discuss.”
That doesn’t quite tell what the story is actually about, but it definitely is a good quote to go with the title of the book.

Interesting… Happy Friday and happy reading!

I agree, the 56 goes along great with the title of the book, and with the looks of the setting, it feels the atmosphere is full of secrets and mystery; hope you enjoy your read!
Here's mine:

Really interesting. Is there a leak? I know that feeling. You want to ask, but you don't ask.
Lisa Mandina
It's not a leak, I'll tell you that much! 🙂
Kat
That's a really interesting sentence you choose here. I like it. Makes me want to read the book 🙂

I thought it was a perfect sentence for the meme this week. Glad everyone else is thinking that way too. Thanks for stopping by and I'll stop by your post as well!

What?! I need to know more. And that cover is killer too. Thanks for the new book and author.

I went to check out the book on Goodreads and couldn't find it. Is this an ARC?
Lisa Mandina
I am currently reading an e-galley. But try looking it up under the author, the title is hard to find it by.
Amber Elise
Ooo I like this!

Great post and very observant perspective. Is Simon a scientist, musician or crazy guy? Happy weekend!
Lisa Mandina
He's not a scientists, or a musician. But there's a chance he might be considered crazy at this point. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Hmmmm…..between the tease and the 'holes' in the cover, I am very curious indeed.

I'm intrigued plus I like the narrator quite a bit. I know just how she (I assume she) feels! I'm curious to know more about this one!
Lisa Mandina
She's a pretty good narrator for the story! Hope you get a chance to read it.
Erin
Oh, interesting. I've never heard of this book, but I am going to check it out on Goodreads a little more. 🙂

For some reason your book image is not shown on my browser so I don't know what is the title! That's a bummer because I really liked the quote and wanted to add this book to my TBR! Anyways, thanx for stopping by my blog! 🙂
