The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. The aim is to share a few sentences of a book (whether it’s the one you’re currently reading or not) so other people might be enticed to pick it up.
Here’s the rules:
– Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
– Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
– Post it.
– Add the url of your post to the Linky on Freda’s most recent post.
“I’ve always been a healthy girl,” she said in her mother’s sing-song accent. “Which, of course, is the Indian way of saying fat.”
That was from page 56 of the hardback of The House of Hidden Mothers by Meera Syal

I love the snippet, sounds like she has no problem being who she is. Happy Friday!
Yeah Shyama is a pretty great character.
Happy Friday to you too! Hope you have a good weekend 🙂
Nice snippet. The book is new to me. I hope you are enjoying it. This week I am spotlighting The Secrets of the Heart by Kasey Michaels which had gotten lost on my TBR mountain. Happy reading!
I finished it recently and it was definitely an interesting read. Making a dent in my TBR pile is one of my aims for next year. Happy Friday 🙂
Funny excerpt! The book’s title is intriguing.
My Friday post features THE LOCKET.
Thanks, there’s definitely a some humour amongst and the family drama.
Happy reading!
This excerpt cracked me up, which made me go back to the title and realize how funny that was too!
A confident gal. I like her. And I like that curious title.

LOL Love that snippet. So relatable.
Happy weekend!
I would pick this up for the cover alone!
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings), my Top Ten Tuesday, and my current giveaway.
I have to say, one of the main reasons I picked it up was because of its cover – that and it was for a reading challenge 🙂
