Welcome back to this week's #Friday56 - What are you reading this week? The Friday 56 is a weekly blog meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. There are only 4 rules:
As I'm reading two books at the moment, I decided to incorporate both into this week's post. Up first is Legendary by Stephanie Garber - I was so excited to get this a day before the release (THANKS AMAZON!) and I'm so glad to be diving back into this rich, fantasy world. If you're interested, feel free to check out my review of Caraval and click on the photo below for the synopsis of Legendary! Warning: If you haven't read Caraval, the quote below is a bit of a spoiler! Here's my chosen quote from page 56: "Tella considered telling Scarlett the real reason she needed to play and win, but she doubted mentioning their mother would help her cause. Scarlett didn't talk about their mother. Ever. Whenever Tella had tried to talk about Paloma, Scarlett either changed the subject or ignored her completely. Tella used to think it was too difficult for Scarlett, but now Tella thought Scarlett's hurt had turned to hatred for the way their mother had left them." I'm so happy to be back in Caraval and can't wait to see what happens next. How do you feel about Caraval? Are you reading Legendary? My second book this week is Killing It by Asia Mackay. Here's the synopsis: Every working mum has had to face it. The guilt-fuelled, anxiety-filled first day back in the office after maternity leave. But this working mum is one of a kind. Meet Alexis Tyler. An elite covert agent within Her Majesty's Secret Service. Her first project back is a high-stakes hit of global significance and the old boys network of government espionage is far from ready for the return of an operational mother. But woe betide anyone who ever tells Alexis Tyler 'you can't'. She will have it all. Or she'll die trying . . . And yes, she damn well will be home for bath time. Here's my quote from 56%: He had been my anchor. Holding me down, stopping me getting swept away in a flurry of big guns, bloodshed and baddies. And look at us now. We were a family. What do you think? Would you read this?

Killing It looks like one I would enjoy! 1/6/2018 18:32:00
I skipped the teaser because I really want to read Caravel but this looks fantastic! 1/6/2018 19:33:00
Caraval is amazing! I hope you enjoy it :D and thanks for stopping by! 2/6/2018 00:55:08
Both of these sound good to me. Happy reading. And I often read more than one book at a time too. 2/6/2018 15:32:30
It's happening to me more and more lately - I think there are just so many good books I want to read them all at once! 2/6/2018 03:47:31
I haven't read Caravel, but I like how complex these mother-daughter relationships sound from the excerpt provided. Happy weekend! 2/6/2018 15:34:06
I'd highly recommend it Alicia :) you're right, Killing It was definitely interesting and Legendary is shaping up to be great! I hope you're having a bookish weekend! Comments are closed.
