"Maggie, Max and I were on one team. My dad, Maggie's father and John were on the other. I knew we were in trouble when the first three balls I bowled all went into the gutter. My dad, playing baby-style--rolling the ball with both hands, through his knees--got a strike on the first frame."

This weeks is from The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

"If there is a single thing I'll miss about Thurmond, I thought as I edged toward sleep, it's this. The quiet moments, when we were allowed to talk about forbidden things.

We had to find a way to amuse ourselves because we had no stories-no dreams, no future-other than the ones we created for ourselves."

Friday 56 #1

Friday 56 is a  weekly meme hosted by Freda's Voice. All you have to do is go to page 56 or 56% on an e-reader and post a sentence or a few. 

My choice this week is Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

Page 56:
The sound of treads approached along the path. Cinder turned her head as the two androids appeared with Peony atop their gurney. She was sitting up with her hands wrapped around her knees. Swollen eyes wildly darted around the junkyard as if searching for an escape. As if she'd stumbled into a nightmare.
