Opening
I'm currently reading Jane by April Lindner
(Goodreads)
The chairs in the lobby of Discriminating Nannies, Inc., were less comfortable than they looked. I sat stiffly in the one nearest the exit, where, feeling like an impostor in my gray herringbone suit from Goodwill, I could watch the competition come and go.

The Friday 56

Grab a book turn to page 56 or 56% share a sentence or a few

I decided to go with my current read. I'm not at 56% yet but skipped ahead to find it.

My Sentences
“I’ll do whatever you need me to.” I shut my eyes a second. They felt so heavy; I barely had the energy to open them again.
“I’ll let you sleep,” Mr. Rathburn said. “The sun will be up soon, and I’ll have a lot of explaining to do to our guests. Sweet dreams.”
And he left me to dreams that were anything but sweet.
What teasers do you have this week?

  1. Sound interesting, can't wait to see your review of this one. I like retellings of classics if they are done well. :)
