The Friday 56: I Was Born For This

The Friday 56 is a weekly blog meme hosted by Freda’s Voice. The idea is to share an excerpt from a book you’ve been reading every Friday, to promote the book or simply just to showcase your current read!

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that’s OK.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It’s that simple

For today’s post I’ve picked a quote from the book that I’m just about to start reading, Alice Oseman’s I Was Born For This.

I pick up the iPad and look at it.
On screen is a picture of me and Rowan sleeping in my bed in our London apartment.
I laugh. It’s kind of funny. We look like we’re a couple or something. Lister must have taken it as a joke. I look up at Rowan, expecting him to be laughing too. But he isn’t. His eyes are wide. His hand is gripping the back of my seat.
‘I don’t understand,’ I say.
‘Have you checked Twitter today,’ he says, shaking his head almost mechanically.
‘No?’
Rowan snatches back the iPad and swipes the screen.

I was lucky enough to be approved for an ARC of this on Netgalley, so I’m really excited to be starting it. My wonderful pal Hollie @Hollieblog loves Alice Oseman and is constantly recommending her books, so it’s about time I finally read one of her novels.

What are you reading this weekend? Have you had any snow days with the recent bad weather to catch up on your reading?
