Friday Quotes: The Reader

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. Share the opening quote from the book.
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: The Reader by Traci Chee

 Book Beginnings:
Once there was, and one day there will be. this is the beginning of every story.
Friday 56:
She quickly grew irritated with his helplessness. He just stood there, waiting for her to do something.
Comments: I just received my copy of this book today. I'm pretty excited to get started. And, I see it is the first book in a series. I may be entertained by this author for the next few years. Who knows?

    Trying again...I wrote something that, upon rereading it, didn't make sense. LOL.

    I am curious about the helplessness. Is he purposely being helpless, or is he truly helpless. If he is faking it, I would be impatient, too.

    Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “UNTETHERED”
