Friday read was invented by The Candid cover
It’s a book meme that mixes two already existing:
- Book Beginnings is a book meme hosted by Rose City Reader where participants share the first sentence (or so) of the book, along with initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
- The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice, and the rules are quite simple: Grab a book, any book, and turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader. Find any non-spoilery sentence(s) and post.
My Current read is brought to you by Brittany @PerfectlyTolerable
(LOOK! I’m finally reading it!!)
Book Beginnings
We al know this and I just loved actually reading the famous first sentence of the actual book::
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
The Friday 56
Elizabeth instantly read her feelings, and at that moment solicitude for Wickham, resentment against his enemies, and every thing else gave way before the hope of Jane’s being in the fairest way for happiness
Pride and Prejudice has a special place in my heart.

I’d be totally up for a Jane Austen book club! I’ve read all her novels but most of them ages ago. I’ll have to revisit some of them. 🙂

I love this one so much! My favorite Austen is Persuasion, but it’s so hard to pick really because they’re all good in different ways. 😀
