The Friday 56
hosted by Freda's Voice
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it).
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky in Freda's Voice blog. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It's that simple.
It's my first time doing this! And I will try do it as often as I can. Enjoy my snippet of: Vivian Apple at the End of the World, by Katie Coyle.
"How many Believers were actually Raptured, thought?" I ask. "I was hoping they'd have an exact number by now."
"I can give you the exact number," says Grandpa Grant. "It's a big fat zero. Nodoby was Raptured, Vivian. There's no such thing as a Rapture."
"I meant, you know, how many people disappeared," I say quietly, cowed by the disdain in my grandfather's voice.
"I'm sure they'll have a more exact number at some point," my grandmother says dismissively. "For now, why don't you get some rest? We still have a ways to go before New York."
I lean back and shut up.
That was at page 56 and I'm now 123 pages in. It's not that interesting, but I will not give up. I mean, in some point it has to become interesting, right? I hope so.
