It's finally Friday! I am so ready for the weekend after what has been a ridiculously busy week - I'm exhausted! Fingers crossed I'll actually have some time to read and blog this weekend too! The Friday 56 is a weekly blog meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. There are only 4 rules:
Today, I'm choosing a book that I'm about to start. It's Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton. I received this YA Fantasy in a recent book box and can't wait to dig in! Here's the Goodreads synopsis: In the ancient river kingdom, touch is a battlefield, bodies the instruments of war. Seventeen-year-old Mia Rose has pledged her life to hunting Gwyrach: women who can manipulate flesh, bones, breath, and blood. Not women. Demons. The same demons who killed her mother without a single scratch. But when Mia's father suddenly announces her marriage to the prince, she is forced to trade in her knives and trousers for a sumptuous silk gown. Only after the wedding goes disastrously wrong does she discover she has dark, forbidden magic—the very magic she has sworn to destroy. Here's my chosen quote from page 56 (this page literally has 4 sentences, so there wasn't much to choose from): "And something was wrong. Very wrong." What do you think? Are you intrigued?
Let me know your thoughts (and drop your links) in the comments below, and have a great weekend!

I hadn't heard of it either Kathy, until it arrived in a monthly book box, so it was a nice surprise! Thanks for stopping by, I'll head over to your blog :) 27/7/2018 16:29:35
I hate it when, trying to follow rules, one is forced to pick a quote from page 56 and there isn't much for go on. Well, your choice at least is intriguing. <a href="https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2018/07/friday-quotes-paris-for-one-and-other.html">My Friday Quotes</a>

Haha, yeah, that's true! Although with this one, at least it didn't really give any of the story away since I haven't started it yet - that's always a worry! I'm glad you agree, even if it is somewhat enigmatic. 27/7/2018 22:39:27
Yep, it sounds like she's got her hands full. Pretty cover.

Haha definitely Laura and the cover is gorgeous isn't it? I love it! It has really beautiful inner pages and red sprayed edges too - it's divine!
