The Friday 56 is a blog hop by Freda’s Voice and the rules are simple:
As it is Banned Books Week, today’s quote comes from a recently banned book from New Zealand!
“‘This stone has drunk men’s blood. It has a history that our iwi share with others.’ ‘Where did it come from?'” – Into the River by Ted Dawe
