#Friday56

  The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice and the rules are simple:

• Grab a book, any book 
• Turn to Page 56 or 56% in your Ereader (If you want to improvise, go ahead!)
• Find a snippet, but no spoilers!
• Post the snippet to your blog and add your post url to the Linky at the host site

 Here on NH Book Notes I am adding the rule that the book has to be by a NH author.

We took the summer off from this series, but are ready to resume them!

From The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner:

"But the woman in the photo was not family. She was old--eighty, ninety, he couldn't remember anymore. She sat in a rocking chair, birdlike frame nearly lost in a pile of voluminous hand-me-down clothes: man's dark blue flannel shirt, belted around brown corduroy pants, nearly covered by an old Army jacket. The woman was smiling the large, gleeful smile of the elderly, like she had a secret too, and hers was better than his."
