Taking a break from cozies, my book this week is a middle grade fantasy novel - A Dragon's Guide to the Care and Feeding of Humans by Laurence Yep & Joanne Ryder.
The book doesn't actually come out until March 10th, but I'm reading it early thanks to Amazon's Vine program.
And it begins with:
It was a lovely funeral for Fluffy, the best pet I ever had. I was pleased with the turnout at the mansion. Mourners filled the large backyard and mingled as the sun broke through the San Francisco fog.
And from page 56:
Before dawn, the book snapped shut, dark and still again, and all our troubles began.
Have a great weekend!
From the title it sound like a fun kind of book.
ReplyDeleteFate Reborn. is my offering this week.
The title certainly does catch your attention, doesn't it?
DeleteFunny title. I love it. Great teases too.

I was lucky because both quotes were so good this week.
DeleteWhat a great title. I loved the start too.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongrats on the win! I tried to play Ultimate Frisbee once but got really scared as the frisbee came my way first time, so I stopped xD I like the sound of this one, especially the F56 because it's so mysterious! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you enjoy your weekend!

You know, I hate have a ball thrown at me, but I'm perfectly fine with a Frisbee. Don't ask me why. Maybe it's just because I've gotten so used to it after all my years playing ultimate.
DeleteSounds like a fun book. My as always is a cozy. http://lisaksbookthoughts.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGot to take a break occasionally from the cozies, or at least I do. As much as I love them, they all start to run together after a while without a break.
DeleteSounds like a cute book! I like the 56 quote though I seem to think all my troubles happen when I open a book!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Friday 56.
But no one opened this book to cause all these troubles....
DeleteClever title, and I love the cover. This will be a good book to read with my granddaughter in a few years.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features A DARK & STORMY KNIGHT.
I'm the same way, saving up book ideas I think my niece and nephew will enjoy in a few years.
DeleteOh, I like this one. I'm getting acquainted with Fantasy and Sci-Fi. So, I would read this one in a New York minute.
ReplyDeleteThis is a middle grade novel. I've found they have some of the best fantasy and sci-fi out there, too.
DeleteCongrats on the Ultimate Frisbee! This sounds interesting but I'll wait for your full review before I add it to my TBR. I do agree with the 56 though - most troubles do start when I close my book!.
ReplyDeleteOr it's just we can't hide from the trouble. ;)
DeleteCongrats on winning in the Frisbee game! That's cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover and the dragon on it. I hope Fluffy is a dragon... lol....
Happy weekend!
The book is narrated from the point of view of a dragon.
DeleteI'm with Freda. Is Fluffy a dragon or human! The part about the book snapping shut has hooked me.

I gave it away earlier, but you'll have to read the book (or at least my review) to find out for sure.
DeleteThis sounds like it could be a lot of fun. I hope you like it. :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my 56.
It was good, but unfortunately it wasn't quite as much fun as it sounded like it would be.
DeletePoor Fluffy. At least Fluffy has a nice crowd and a mansion. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds fun and cute. ENJOY!!

And what else matters but a nice crowd and a mansion, right?
