Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice . The idea is to share a sentence from the 56th page of the book you are currently reading
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to Page 56 or 56% on your ereader.
*Find a snippet, short and sweet.
*Post it, and add the url to your post to the linky on Freda's page.
Here's my snippet:
"Although some queens had the power to change lives, they weren't always making those changes for the better, and the women their decisions harmed had to find a way to fight back."
~Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists by Mikki Kendall
What's your Friday 56?
Sounds like and looks like a good choice. My quotes form Radium Girls
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty good. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi Vonnie! Welcome back to Friday 56! I've heard of your featured book, but haven't read it yet. Love your graphic!

Thanks, you too!
DeleteI'd never heard of this book, but it sounds interesting. I like this push for graphic novels, because it makes information so much more accessible to people who aren't likely to sit down and read a 400-page, super dry textbook. This sounds like a great read!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday post.
I agree. I am not much of a nonfiction reader so graphic novels have been a plus for me. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis one sounds good! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THE PARIS LIBRARY”

ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful read and the illustrations are gorgeous!
DeleteGreat quote!! I've been meaning to read Mikki Kendall's book, Hood Feminism. Maybe next month?
