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
Rebel Belle
by Rachel Hawkins
Genre: YA Fantasy
My 56 from the paperback.
First of all, I had gotten totally screwed on the “origin story” front. All superheroes have origin stories, like how Bruce Wayne’s parents get killed and he goes to Tibet or whatever, and Superman is an alien, and Spider-Man had that radioactive spider? Me? I kissed a janitor in the school bathroom.

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper’s destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts. Just when life can’t get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she’s charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper’s least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him–and discovers that David’s own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.
With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y’all beg for more.

I won all three books in this series. How lucky am I!
I figured these would be fun, and living in the south, I’m always looking for stories that take place in my neck of the woods.

I am too. I do love character’s that carry the story and make me laugh.
For someone who’s not really into YA, I’m listing quite a couple on my TBR list today… LOL
I never read much YA until I read the Twilight series. Now, I’m reading a lot of the genre and finding some wonderful authors.
That’s an intriguing few sentences.
Sure is. I think I’m going to have such fun with the series:)
I read Rachel Hawkins other series, and I liked the books, I haven’t tried this series yet, but I’ve heard really good things about it.
That’s wonderful to hear. I’m looking forward to reading these books:)

This sounds freaking hilarious! I love the 56 …going to have to get a copy of this book for myself. Thanks for visiting my Friday meme
I love it when a book makes me laugh out loud. Should be a really fun read:)
I guess it goes to show that having superhuman powers really messes with a girl’s social life. :p Have a great weekend, Laura!
As if we need more complications. LOL
I’m going to add this to my wishlist. Sounds good.
I’m hoping to read all three books quickly. So good to not have to wait for each book!
How lucky! This sounds like a good series. 🙂
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).

You are totally lucky! I was sent book three by the publisher but not read one or two yet, so I need to get them soon. 🙂
Have a great day,
Stormi
Oh no. I know how you always start a series at the beginning.
