Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 - A Beacon of Light by Linda Byler

-

 Book Beginnings hosted by Rose City Reader is a Friday link up party where you post the first line of a book that you are reading or that has interested you if you aren't currently reading something. 

To approach the home of her childhood after all these years was no small thing. 

I have read books by Linda Byler before. This is book two of a trilogy and although I have not read book one, I am enjoying this book so far. May has suffered much of her life since her parents were killed in an accident and now, she is returning to a society that is much different from the life she has been living. Will she be accepted? Will she be reunited with her brother? 

Here is a link if you happen to want to purchase a copy or read on your kindle. 


I also have joined Anne over at Head Full Of Books to participate in the Friday 56. Here are the rules for it. 

RULES:

*Grab a book, any book
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader
(If you want to improvise, go ahead!)
*Find a snippet, but no spoilers!
*Post it to your blog and add your URL to the Linky below. If you do not add the specific URL for your post, we may miss it!


As she walked, her legs began to ache, and her back felt as if the muscles were all drawing into a tight band. The back of her heel was being rubbed raw by the ill-fitting shoes for a moment' respite, then continued on her way before realizing a painful blister had developed.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
