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: Goldenhand by Garth Nix

Book Beginning:

In the Sixth Precinct, the inexorable current of the river that flowed through Death slowed almost to a stop.

Friday 56:

Comments: This is the fifth book in the Old Kingdom/Abhorrsen series. I love the first books in it and am just delighted to be back to visiting the old kingdom, again.
