Guess what? It's Friday again! I'm looking forward to the weekend, I'm planning to read and sleep a lot. I'd also like to do something outdoors if the weather holds.
As always, Friday is the day of snippets.
Book Beginnings on Friday and The Friday 56 are weekly memes hosted by Rose City Reader and Freda's Voice.
Rules:
Book Beginnings: Share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
The Friday 56: Grab a book, turn to page 56 or 56% in you eReader. Find any sentence (not spoilery) and reflect on it if you want.
The book I'll show you today is:
(How to Hang a Witch #1)
by Adriana Mather
Synopsis:
Salem, Massachusetts is
the site of the infamous witch trials and the new home of Samantha
Mather. Recently transplanted from New York City, Sam and her stepmother
are not exactly welcomed with open arms. Sam is the descendant of
Cotton Mather, one of the men responsible for those trials and
almost immediately, she becomes the enemy of a group of girls who call
themselves The Descendants. And guess who their ancestors were?
If dealing with that weren't enough, Sam also comes face to face with a real live (well technically dead) ghost. A handsome, angry ghost who wants Sam to stop touching his stuff. But soon Sam discovers she is at the center of a centuries old curse affecting anyone with ties to the trials. Sam must come to terms with the ghost and find a way to work with the Descendants to stop a deadly cycle that has been going on since the first accused witch was hanged. If any town should have learned its lesson, it's Salem. But history may be about to repeat itself.

Book Beginning:
"Like most fast-talking, opinionated New Yorkers, I have an affinity for sarcasm."
That's fine Sam, don't hold back for my sake :)
The Friday 56:
"Alice stands in answer and Mary shoots up like she can't get out fast enough. There are still so many questions I need to ask them. And some part of me worries that I am the cause of these awful things. Maybe the curse is part of me?"
Such a heavy burden on the shoulders of a teenage girl... She keeps blaming herself when none of what happens is her fault. I hope she realises that by the end of the book.
