The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Find a quote from page 56.
Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest, or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. This is the book I'm reading right now:
Title: Everything I Never Told You by Celeste NgBook Beginnings:
Lydia is dead. But they don't know this yet.Friday 56:
Most missing girl cases, the older policeman tells them, resolve themselves within twenty-four hours. The girls come home by themselves.Comments: The Friday 56 quote is from some random page, I can't even tell which one. I am listening to the audiobook so I had to pull the quotes from a sample on the Internet. Obviously from the two quotes you now know that Lydia is dead, possibly murdered. What the reader doesn't know is very much about the girl and then family figures out they don't much about her, either.
I don't know if this one would be for me, but I hope you enjoy the book. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooo, a murder mystery? Have an awesome weekend.

That beginning really grabbed me. I wonder if it was the killer speaking. And I could smack that cop. Doesn't matter if the cases do resolve themselves, you attack it like it were your own child missing. This sounds good:)

I try to avoid reading stories that feature missing children, especially since I have a granddaughter myself. I worry enough about her already without adding more possible scenarios to my imagination!

Poor Lydia. This sounds really interesting, I'm adding it to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing! Thanks, also, for visiting my blog! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteSome great lines from this book, although probably not one I would choose for the cover alone. Personally, I think this policeman needs some serious re-training, or they should have sent in a trained FLO (family liaison officer), to discuss the possible situation with the family.
I don't know why I haven't already added this one to my 'Want To Read' list, but it's there now!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend :)

Sounds like a thrilling read. Hope you enjoy the rest of the audio book. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing beginning... I'm assuming Lydia is missing...
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

ReplyDeletePeople that enjoy the same books as me seem to constantly recommend this. I will have to try it. looks very good. Enjoy and thinks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteThis book will be excellent for discussion, but it wasn't an easy emotional read, nor one I would recommend to many people.
ReplyDeleteThis book is tragic; you want to shake these characters before it's too late, but there's nothing you can do. It's a thought-provoking read
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many great things about this - I need to pick it up! :)
