Book Beginning and the Friday 56 1/09/2014


Book Beginning is a meme hosted on Rose City Reader. To partecipate, you have to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires. 



Friday 56 is a meme hosted on Freda's Voice. To participate, you have to post one or a few sentences from either page 56 or 56% of a book of your choosing. 











The book I chose to use for this two memes is "The School for Good and Evil: a World without Princes" by Soman Chainani.


The first sentence(s):
There's an uneasiness that remains after your best friend tried to kill you.
It's pretty good, as far as opening sentences go, since it immediately captures the reader's attention. 

Taken from page 56 of the book:
Hearing the skimming of arrows again, Agatha swung her head between paths, burning trees growing nearer… nearer… 

What about you?  Let me know in the comments!

  4. That's it, I want to read this book! I would definitely be a bit hesitant about seeing anyone who tried to kill me again! And the F56 is some pretty good action description! Thanks for introducing me to this one, it's on my TBR list! Thanks for sharing :) Have a great weekend!

    I read this book and did not like it. It did have some good quotes in it.

  7. I've seen this book around, but I've yet to seriously look into it. The first sentence is definitely a good one.

  9. I think that an "uneasy" feeling is an understatement ha ha! I'd be freaked out! I am loving the book cover to this, I'm checking it out on GR right now! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my blog :)
