HAPPY FRIDAY!
I was re-reading The Stand by Stephen King before The Golden City was released so I went back to it when I finished. Here's this week's 56:Frannie, you've no business having such an old man for a father, but I can't help it. I never married until 1956.
hmmmm, why have all my 56 from such fascinating books been so boring lately?

She does look like "Not Mrs. Pitt" & it freaks me out a bit. LOL!

"That region, as Atreyu knew, was the home of bark trolls."
The Neverending Story

Just finished reading this one a couple of days ago! I loved the movie growing up ~ actually I had a huge crush on the guy who played Atreyu . . . it was fun reading the book all these years later. :D
Here's mine! This is my first Friday 56 -- I came across your blog through Snowbell's blog :)

I almost forgot to link my Friday 56...here it is: My Ever Expanding Library.
This is a cool meme, but sometimes you just can't help what you find on page 56 ;-)
Hmmm. I would have thought The Stand would have been interesting.

I have to be in the right mood for Stephen King.
"I tend to scare myself."

And he can certainly scare me into sleeping with the lights on!
Here is my Friday 56.

Either I'm doing it wrong or the book cover and this quote don't line up! hehehe"
- Oh... so what was your P56, sentence5 of Branded By Fire? Just curious. Might be a different edition... Like they do different covers for different countries(??). Or more likely, I didn't do it right :)
