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 Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft. It’s a perfect book for the Halloween season. Page 56 lands in the story “Afterbirth” by Andrea Cremer.
“Do not speak thusly,” I argue. “You have done nothing wrong.”
Midwife Ley coughs again, then smiles sadly. “In my mind and yours I have done no wrong. But my words contradicted those of our minister and the judge’s wife. I alone raised the possibility that the judge got a child by his servant. In the eyes of the village, my truths cannot be suffered to live.”

This does sound like a great book for the current holiday. This week I am featuring a historical mystery – A Dangerous Duet by Karen Odden. Happy reading!
Yeah, I would have liked to get it on the blog a little earlier, but I just didn’t have time!
Great quote. This looks like an interesting collection of stories.
Sounds spooktacular!!! Happy weekend!
Love these types of themed anthologies!
Yes! And I’m incredibly excited about the vampire one coming out next year – I think it’s Vampires Never Get Old, or something like that. There’s a ton of YA authors contributing, including Zoraida Cordova again!
Oh wow, that sounds awesome. I LOVE Vampires, and it’s always so interesting to see people’s different takes on them.
