Friday 56
I’ve been seeing these posts from various blogs that I follow and liked them because some have fun quotes within them. This is a Friday meme started by Freda @ Freda’s Voice.
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 (on Freda’s Friday posts) in Linky. Add the Friday post url, not your blog url.
Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld
Book 4 of The Austen Project series. I read Northanger Abbey by Val McDermid this year. And then I reread Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. As for Eligible, I just recently received it from my first subscription box of the Book of the Month. That Ring Pop candy was a cute addition to the box. I am really looking forward to reading this book. This is a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice.
“Mary raised her eyebrows dubiously. ‘I knew there was something fishy about a graduate of Harvard Medical School ending up in an E.R. in Cincinnati. It was probably the only job he could get.'”
I had np idea this book was a part of the series.
I never subscribe to book boxes. Firstly, the shipping to Croatia is too expencive and secondly, I’d rather buy a book I want without the risk that I’ll get a book I won’t like or have already pre-ordered.

Series is written by various authors, which is why I like this series I think.
I completely understand why you’re not doing any of the subscriptions. Over Seas shipping sucks.

I can’t wait to hear what you think of Eligible Michelle. I thought it was the best out of the Austen Project yet.
