Freda at Freda's Voice will now be the host of the Friday 56. Now I know if my blog is idle for weeks at a time, everyone will still be able to play. I am so glad something I started on this little blog was something that people enjoyed and for a long time the F56 was the only thing that kept this blog going. However, as I said before, the book format is simply not a motivator to me anymore and someone who does this kind of blogging better than me (Freda is DEFINITELY that person) should do this. I will still join when I can but Freda should feel free to do with it as she pleases.
See on a Friday in the future!!
The Friday 56: Time to Vote!
Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Good morning everyone! I thought this would be a sad day for me but honestly, it's not. :) I think it's time I pass this on, as I simply don't feel connected to this blog format any longer. There are three people who have expressed interest in taking over the hosting of the F56. Today, as you play, also vote for who you would like to host it. I will post a special blog tomorrow to let everyone which blog will now be the host as well as post again next week since quite a few only come over on Fridays and might miss it.
Here's your candidates:
1. Anna at Bite Club
2. Robsad79 at The Bookoholic Zone
3. Freda at Freda's Voice
I don't have a preference but I would like to make sure the F56 continues and I'm not sure it would with me. Please choose someone you think will be as passionate about it as I was when I first started it!

Yes, my dogs have no idea what they truly want. When they're in, they want to be out
And of course when they're out, they want to be in
Truly, they are not so different from us, are they?

Who wants the Friday 56?
I have been thinking about this awhile but I have finally made the decision. I am giving up hosting the Friday 56. I know there are lot of people who really enjoy doing it so I am offering it to whoever wants it. Please post in the comments if you would like to host it. If I get more than one, we'll have a vote on Friday with all the participants on who they would like to host it. Then I'll post the following Friday so everyone knows where to go from now on.
Here's the reason I'm doing this: I am not motivated by the book blog anymore. I love books and I continue to read as much as I ever did but if you notice over the last year or so, I have not posted much about books. In fact, the only thing I've done in the last few weeks is post the F56 because I know there are so many people who enjoy it. If it was just me doing it, that would not even be posted. I'm going to keep the blog, but I think it will be my stories, not other people's (books). That's a little more motivating to me!
So go for it!! Who wants it?

This week I am reading Dark Moon Defender by Sharon Shinn, one of my favorite fantasy authors. This sentence is fairly dull but it comes at a pivotal moment in the book.
It had taken her less than an hour to get from Janetta's house to her destination; even with a few missteps, it should not take her much longer than that to find her was home.

This week's selection is from a magazine I picked up recently and it's sitting right next to my computer. It's called Mother Earth News and page 56 is an article about Mushrooms.
The thing all fungi have in common - and what distinguishes them from the other biological kingdoms - is they exude powerful enzymes to digest their food externally, absorbing nutrients directly into their cells.

Sorry this is late everyone, Blogger was giving me issues this morning. This week's selection comes from Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I just finish the review so it's still sitting on my desk.
