The Friday 56 (171) & Book Beginnings: Dragon's Bait by Vivian Vande Velde

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice where every Friday you pick a book and turn to page 56 or 56%, and select a sentence or a few, as long as it's not a spoiler. For the full rules, visit the the page HERE

Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.

Synopsis from Goodreads...
Fifteen-year-old Alys is not a witch. But that doesn't matter--the villagers think she is and have staked her out on a hillside as a sacrifice to the local dragon. It's late, it's cold, and it's raining, and Alys can think of only one thing--revenge. But first she's got to escape, and even if she does, how can one girl possibly take on an entire town alone? Then the dragon arrives--a dragon that could quite possibly be the perfect ally. . . 


Beginning: "The day Alys was accused of being a witch started out like any other."

56: "Again he didn't answer."


Comments: I liked Dragon's Bait. What are you reading this week?

  1. I will always and forever show up for dragons. <3 xD That's definitely an interesting opener, too. I might have to check this one out. I'm a sucker for dragons, and the idea of partnering up with one to get revenge sounds really good, too.


    Here's my Friday post.
