Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from
The Christmas Dragon
by Ruthanne Reid
My 56
A wall of solid blackness hid our path, like curtains, but it didn’t feel solid. My eyes played tricks on me – solid black against solid black, impossible to see, and definitely not products of my imagination.
We hadn’t been closed off by a barrier. That was a whole dark world out there, some new dimension I didn’t know.

Synopsis
All Katie Lin wants is to get away from her family: from the magic, from the mayhem, and from the never-ending war. Unfortunately, someone has other ideas, and sends her a box. A box that jumps.
The tiny fire hazard inside may just force her back to Wales – and right into the path of a dragon war, the Crow King, and at least one reluctant elf prince. Sometimes, running away just doesn’t work as planned.

This is such a fun little story! And I have another one too, Strings.
I’ll be reviewing them for a tour in a couple of months so I can’t tell you much about them.

Wow… this sounds very… Christmas-y?
Christmas doesn’t play a big part besides being a time of year. I really like this one:)
I’m adding this one to my tbr – it sounds fantastic!
Check out my 56.
I really like it and am looking forward to reading Strings too. They are short stories yet a lot of fun.
This book sounds so interesting!
It has a lot to offer in such a small package:)
Sounds like an interesting cast of characters! I like the description of darkness. Eerie.
By the way, I noticed your Tsu badge. I haven’t joined yet. Do you think it’s worthwhile?
My Friday post features FINDING SOUTHERN COMFORT.
I was torn between three descriptions and this one was the best without spoiling anything. Lots of quotable stuff in this one:)
I’m still learning about TSU and making friends and following people. I think it’s going to grow and become something worth pursuing in the media forum.
I’m intrigued! That’s a lot of description about blackness but it makes sense. I know exactly what she means. Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy your reading!
I know. It was a great show and tell description:)
This does sound like a fun book! There are so many good fantasy stories out there, and we have such a rich heritage with Lewis and Tolkien, to name a few. It’s encouraging to see so many rich contemporary fantasy works getting published.
I know what you mean. I’ve found some wonderful stories through indie authors and am thrilled they can get their stories out there for us to enjoy:)
You had me with ‘dragon’…. but the 56 sounds like it’s exciting to read too.
Happy weekend!
Such a cute dragon too:)
This one does sound like fun. Happy reading!
Thanks. I’m sure it’ll be an exciting adventure:)
Dragons! I love dragons. I’m really liking the sound of this one. Happy reading and have a lovely weekend 🙂
Can’t go wrong with dragons!
Ooh, sounds eerie and enticing! Thanks for sharing…and thanks for visiting my blog.
Both this and Strings are short but exciting!
Hmm, Dragon book. I have had some really bad luck with Dragon books this past year. Maybe this one will be better, I should give it a look.
Also thanks for stopping by my blog. 😀
I’ve been lucky and found some fantastic ones. These are short and fun:)
Got this on my list too. I am looking forward to reading it.
Interesting… it’s a little hard to get a good grasp on the atmosphere. Makes me curious; nice pick. I do like the cover a lot.
Sounds like an interesting book. I hope you’re enjoying it.
