This is a new weekly meme that I saw Top 100 Books take part in and I thought I would join in too! This is entry #1 in The Friday 56. It’s hosted by Freda at Freda’s Voice, but she is taking a break. Anne at My Head is Full of Books has taken on hosting duties in her absence.
To do this simply:
- Grab a book, any book
- Turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader (If you want to improvise, go ahead!)
- Find a snippet you like that jumps out at you, but no spoilers
“What do you want with me? You said you’d tell me here. So tell me.” Rhys leaned back in his chair, folding powerful arms that even the fine clothes couldn’t hide. “For this week? I want you to learn how to read.” – page 56.

Blurb –
Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she’s now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people.
As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil.
