The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice. The rules are simple – turn to page 56 in your current read (or 56% in your e-reader) and post a few non-spoilery sentences.
Today’s quote is from Mortal Engines, by Philip Reeve. It’s my Steampunk book for Litsy’s Booked 2018 Challenge, and my full review will be up tomorrow!
Dog went hurrying ahead to sniff at the stacks of crates and drums: tinned meat, lifting gas, medicines, airship-puncture repair kits, sun lotion, gas masks, flameproof suits, guns, rain-capes, cold-weather coats, mapmaking equipment, portable stoves, spare socks, plastic cups, three inflatable dinghies, and a carton labeled “Pink’s Patent Out-Country Mud-Shoes – Nobody Sinks with Pink’s!“
I mentioned in Tuesday’s Top Ten post that I love the character names in this book, but the rest of it is pretty great too!
I bought this whole series for my library and nobody reads it. Sigh. Maybe I should read it first! My Friday Quotes
Oh no! I want to read the entire series. I really liked the storytelling style.
Sounds really good, and that cover is amazing!! Happy weekend!
This reminds me that I want to read the book before the movie comes out.
