Friday 56: Vol. 5

July 24, 2015 Conny Kaufmann 8 Comments

The Friday 56 is a blog hop by Freda’s Voice and the rules are simple:

Turn to the nearest book.
Open it on page 56.
Post a sentence or two.
Join the linky.
Go crazy on the linky.

“In daylight, it now seems ridiculous, but the rules of this house are written in water.”

– The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton

Great line! As a teacher I think many of my students live in homes like that.

As soon as I looked at the cover, a chill ran up my spine. Don’t ask me why. 🙂

I read the first chapter of The Miniaturist awhile ago and it did not grab at me much. However the excerpt is lovely so I will have to give it another try. Happy Friday!
