The Friday 56 (With Instagram 56 & Book Beginnings)
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins!
is my feature book for the #Friday56 Bookish Meme with Freda. I’m also taking part in Book Beginnings, a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader.
I actually had to stop reading this for a short while, while I got on with other things (life, huh?) so I’ve recently started this again and now I am well and truly into it! How many of you have read this? Is it as good as it is hyped up to be? I can’t wait for you to read this, or to read your review to find out what you thought! Meanwhile…
Here are a couple of sentences from page 56:
I used to do this – creep next door – when my parents slept here, when I was afraid at night, when I’d had nightmares after listening to one of your stories.
Book Beginnings:
There was something you wanted to tell me, wasn’t there? What was it you were trying to say?

Which book are you reading? Don’t be shy, do say hi!
Rules: *Grab a book, any book. *Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that’s ok.) *Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it) *Post it. *It’s that simple.

I have seen this book around *a lot* and I’m sure I even have it on my kindle. Sucks when life gets in the way of reading though.

Fantastic first line. I saw a video chat with the author recently and want to read it as well. Hope life settles down so you can finish it.

I too have yet to read ‘Girl On A Train’, or indeed, watch the film, so I know little about the author’s style of writing or plot building, only what I have gleaned from the reviews of my fellow book lovers.
The trouble is, I could go on adding literally hundreds of books to my list, without hope of ever actually reading even a small percentage of them!
I’m just a sucker for a good suspense thriller 🙂

I listened to it on audiobook! I didn’t think it was quite as good as The Girl on the Train, but I still really enjoyed it.
