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
Bubba Done It
Dreamwalker #2
by Maggie Toussaint
My 56
In my day-glo orange T-shirt, ponytail, and faded jeans, I wasn’t dressed for success. I plucked a few stray dog hairs off my shirt. There wasn’t anything I could do about the dried dog drool.
And I reversed the numbers and snatched one from page 65.
“I was down at the jail this mornin’, and they wouldn’t tell me a thing. I ax you this, what am I going to do without my Bubba?”
I wanted to share a couple of characters and the southern flavor of this fun book.

Synopsis
Amateur sleuth and dreamwalker Baxley Powell is called in on a stabbing case. She arrives in time to hear the dying man whisper, “Bubba done it.”
Four men named Bubba in Sinclair County, Ga., have close ties to the victim, including her goofball brother-in-law, Bubba Powell.
She dreamwalks for answers, but the dead guy can’t talk to her. Baxley sleuths among the living. The suspects include a down-on-his-luck fisherman, a crackhead evangelist, a politically-connected investor, and her brother-in-law, the former sweetheart of the new widow.
The more Baxley digs, the more the Bubbas start to unravel. Worse, her brother-in-law’s definitely more than friendly with the new widow.
Between petsitting, landscaping, and dreamwalking, Baxley’s got her hands full solving this case.

I am not surprised at the wealth of “Bubbas” in those parts…that made me smile. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
Yep. Lots of Bubbas and Juniors too. LOL
This sounds like my kind of book.
I am LOVING it! I feel right at home:)
Love the title. This series is new to me but the snippets are appealing. I hope you’re enjoying the book.
An orange day-glo shirt? Eh, why not, Bubba 😉
We like our day-glo. LOL I just bought a yellow and a pink one!
I am enjoying every bit of it!
It seems like this would be a funny book, but I don’t know if I could handle the vernacular.
It’s a lot of fun and the vernacular isn’t overwhelming. Just adds some flavoe from a few characters:)
This seems like a fun book, thanks for sharing! 🙂
I’m getting some laughs!
This sounds like a fun read–thanks for sharing it and for visiting my blog.
I’m having fun!
I can see how this narrative can be amusing with language such as ” I ax you this. . .” Also, I couldn’t help but think of Bubba from Forest Gump! Remember him!? 😀
Bubba Gump Shrimp! You bet I remember!
And I actually say ax instead of ask sometimes. Hard not to pick that up. LOL
LOL! Gross! Dried dog drool? Funny quote! Check out my Friday 56!
Dogs tend to leave that everywhere. Especially car windows. LOL
That 56 is funny and I can see why you shared the 65 as well! Sounds like a fun book!
I’m really enjoying it!
Sounds like an interesting one. 🙂

It sure is, Stormi!
Doggy hair is a necessary evil if you happen to own a dog. This sounds like a fun mystery!
It sure is. I love my dog but the hair drives me crazy. LOL
Great pick I haven’t really read a book from the southern side of the states before and this one looks and sounds really intriguing!
I love reading books from my neck of the woods!
Sounds fun, the 56 made me giggle.
Happy Easter weekend!
This whole book makes me giggle! Happy Easter to you too, Freda!
I can totally understand the dog hairs – they get everywhere. Sounds like an interesting read.
I keep spare sheets to cover the comforter on my bed so it doesn’t become imbedded in it. And the hairs are why I make my bed right after I roll out of it. LOL
Sounds like a good read! 🙂
Fun, for sure!
I’ve not been into mysteries as much as I used to be, but those little snippets and the synopsis has me wanting to know what happens and who is the killer. Nice F56 Old Follower.
I love mysteries. They keep me guessing!
Bubba is a name we always use when we are making fun of rednecks. Is the Bubba in this book that kind of guy? Thanks for visiting my blog.
Yep. There’s all kinds of Bubba’s represented in this one. LOL
Sounds like a fun book!
Fun and then some!
I’ve never heard of this but it sounds great! Thanks for visiting my blog.
I’ve already given it a high rating and don’t see it changing once I’ve finished it!
The title alone caught my attention. LOL
If all of the Bubbas around here were suspects they’d never find the right one. LOL
