I am not having much reading time, and so I’m only about halfway through my current read, and then I’ll have to start another one tomorrow for a tour post on Monday. 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.
“I’ve never seen her like that. It was scary, Jules,” he said. “She told us we had to throw the trunk in the water, and when we told her we couldn’t do that, she sent me to go get lighter fluid from the supply trailer. We carried that thing way back behind a bunch of Dumpsters. Where she made us torch it. The smell of the leather…it was awful. And she was chanting something weird under her breath. I guess in Italian. Or Latin maybe.” He shivered in the fan’s breeze.”
You can probably tell there is a bit of superstition in this book about the circus. And something bad had to be destroyed because of it.
What was in that trunk and why did it need to be destroyed? I'm curious! Hope you're enjoying the book. (The title reminds me of an old movie, "Bird on a Wire.")
My Friday post features DEAR SUGAR.
Well, they took what was in the trunk out and ended up just burning the trunk. The book was a good one! Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, love the sound of this one…definitely piques my curiosity. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
It was a good one, I'll be posting a review on Tuesday. Thanks for returning the visit!
Wonderful descriptive writing and the cover art is so cool!!

Wow! What a chilling teaser! I'm definitely intrigued! Thanks for sharing this one 🙂

Intriguing excerpt…makes me wonder what happens next…
It only got better after that! Both good and bad things happened.
I've heard such great things about this book and I'm really looking forward to picking it up myself. Great choice.
I think it deserves all the praise it has been getting. Thanks for stopping by!
Sounds awesome, love that cover too!
Happy weekend!
It was a good one. Thanks for visiting!
Oh my, now I'm curious. What was in the trunk, why burn it, what is going on? I hope you get some answers.
The burning has to do with the people in the story who believe there are magic or good and bad luck in objects.
Ok, now I'm curious to know what's in that trunk!
It was almost more about the trunk than what was in it. Thanks for stopping by!
Interesting one. I want to know more.
It has some other great bits like this in the story. Hope you get to read it!
That's a serious teaser! I definitely want to know more about this one! Thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with this book but now I want to know more!
I love when you can pick a line out of a book and it makes you want to know more! Thanks so much for visiting!
Great choice for a quote! I like circus books so this is really intriguing. Thanks for sharing.
