The Friday 56 #61 The Heart of Christmas by Brenda Novak

This is a fun meme to do hosted by Freda's Voice. If you'd like to join in the fun go to The Friday 56.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it here.

It's the annual Ho Ho Ho Read-A-Thon and I'm neck deep in Christmas stories. Currently, I'm reading a romance, "The Heart of Christmas", by Brenda Novak. The quote is from 56%  in the eGalley.



Gangs had never been part of his privileged existence-other than what he saw on the news reports on TV-and he resented that Rex hadn't led the same kind of uncomplicated, pristine life.

Doesn't exactly match the cover does it? The whole book has been different from what I expected, still not sure if I actually like it.

  4. I definitely would not expect anything about gangs to be a part of this book! However, I've read other books by this author and enjoyed them. I hope the story gets better and that you end up liking it.

  9. Definitely doesn't match the cover! I would expect an excerpt about hot chocolate and gingerbread far more than anything about gangs! Novak's books can definitely have some interesting twists. Hope you're enjoying this one!
