The Friday 56 (246) & Book Beginnings: Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater

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. **Note: Freda @ Freda's Voice is taking a break from The Friday 56; Anne @Head is Full of Books is hosting for now.**

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...
The third installment in the all-new series from the #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater!

Blue Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers, and her problems have become theirs. The trick with found things, though, is how easily they can be lost. Friends can betray. Mothers can disappear. Visions can mislead. Certainties can unravel.



Beginning: "Persephone stood on the bare mountaintop, her ruffled ivory dress whipping around her legs, her mass of white-blond curls streaming behind her."

56: "Blue did not hate it, because that would require acknowledging that it was really happening."


Comments: I'm steadily making progress on my goal to read The Raven Cycle. I've finished book three, Blue Lily, Lily Blue, and I enjoyed it just as much as The Raven Cycle and The Dream Thieves. What are you reading this week?

  1. The Raven Cycle is still something I need to approach at some point. I know I'll either love it or not get through it and I don't know if I'm ready to commit to a new series. I did hear that it has excellent character development, so that's something I'm intrigued by! I hope you continue to enjoy it! I hope you have a lovely weekend :)
