Friday Quotes: Children of Blood and Bone

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: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

 Book Beginning:
"Zelie: Pick me. It's all I can do not to scream."
Friday 56:
"I push through the crowd with a new fervor, desperate to escape. I'm almost past the textiles when someone grabs my wrist."
Comment: I just finished this fabulous YA fantasy novel this morning. It is set in Nigeria and includes Nigerian mythology about gods and magic. It is very exciting and unique. The Friday 56 quote happens to be a turning point in the story.

      It's been on my list since the beginning of the year. I placed a hold on it at the library and it finally came in with the audio version and the e-version arriving just days from each other so I half listened half read it.

    It sounds incredibly unique. I see it might be part of a series and there might be a movie already. Wow!

    Wow, this definitely has me intrigued and I have to say this is a plus for memes like this, you get to have a sneak peak, without the entire plot being given away if you are interested.
