Friday 56! (6th June 2014)

Hi Book Lovers and Welcome to The Friday 56 for the 6th June 2014!

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme which is hosted by Freda's Voice. The objectives of this meme are :

• Grab a book, any book.
• Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
• Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
• Post it.

So here is my post......

         

          I have chosen this snippet from The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs.

There was wood panelling everywhere and the floor was so clean I could see an outline of my reflection on the polish. It was cold too and if I lingered for too long on one spot, it felt as though I was standing on a pile of snow in only my socks. The few windows I did come across I fiddled with, trying to open them, but every single one was locked or too stiff to lift; the one I did manage to open was several floors up and positioned on a completely smooth wall, high enough to rule out jumping.„
