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:
Alice In Murderland
A Magical Bookshop Mystery #1
by Samantha Silver
Genre: Paranormal Cozy Mystery
From 56% in the eBook.
I pulled out the bean bag chair from the first box and decided to place it on the right side of the room. Muffin sniffed it carefully, then pounced on it, sinking deep into the beans and lying there contentedly, his legs sticking out in every direction.
“So I take it you approve,” I told Muffin with a smile.
Kitty approved. LOL

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Moving from Miami to small-town Oregon was supposed to be boring…
When Alice Calliope takes over her recently deceased aunt’s bookshop in Sapphire Village, Oregon, she’s not expecting her world to be flipped upside down, but that’s exactly what happens when her cousin Cat reveals to Alice that she’s actually a witch. Add in the fact that the two of them stumble upon a dead body, and Alice’s first day in town ends up being a lot more eventful than she could have possibly imagined!
What was supposed to be a simple cross-country move winds up with Alice having to learn how to navigate a whole new magical world while at the same time trying to clear Cat’s name as she emerges as the main suspect in the murder. Add in the eccentric Grandma Cee, witchcraft lessons, a whiny old ghost and the laziest cat ever, and Alice definitely has her hands full.
With pressure mounting for the super-hot local sheriff to arrest her cousin, will Alice be able to hunt down the real killer before it’s too late?
Alice in Murderland is a full-length novel and the first book in the Magical Bookshop Mystery series of paranormal cozy mysteries.

Paranormal and cozy? This sounds like a great story. This week I am featuring Under the Shadows by Gwen Florio – a mystery from my review stack. Happy reading!

Ooh, bookshops, kitties, and Oregon! Perfect combo. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.

Sounds like a fun cozy. I like the Oregon setting. Having moved from Miami to the Pacific Northwest myself, I can relate.
