First Line Friday 56 || Spooky Woods and the Nice Man

Posted December 20, 2019 by Sammie in #amreading, Book Beginnings, First Line Friday, Friday 56 / 17 Comments

It’s time to play “guess that book” and also watch our TBRs weep.

Book Beginnings is hosted by Rose City Reader and is all about the first line of a current/upcoming read. Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda’s Voice, where you turn to page 56 (or 56%) in what you’re reading a find a snippet that jumps out at you.

First Lines



Don’t leave the street. tHey can’t get you if you don’t leave the street.

56% Snippet



Ambrose heard the floor creak near him. Little tiny baby steps. There was only silence. He thought he heard breathing near his ears. He didn’t know what it was, but he could feel it. Something was in here. A little whisper that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

Imaginary Friend

IMAGINE…
Leaving your house in the middle of the night.
Knowing your mother is doing her best, but she’s just as scared as you.

IMAGINE…
Starting a new school, making friends.
Seeing how happy it makes your mother.
Hearing a voice, calling out to you.

IMAGINE…
Following the signs, into the woods.
Going missing for six days.
Remembering nothing about what happened.

IMAGINE…
Something that will change everything…
And having to save everyone you love.

Reasons to Read



✿ Guaranteed to never make you look at imaginary friends the same way.
✿ Dark, atmospheric, and likely to scare the bejeesus out of you.
✿ Takes the creepy factor, turns it up to 52, and sprinkles a little spooky and a lot of, “WTF DID I JUST READ?!” on top.
✿ Enough mystery and suspense to keep you up at night.
✿ You know, as if the scary wasn’t enough.
✿ Such a massive tome that it can also double as a lethal weapon.
✿ Proves what I’ve always suspected: deer are evil and out to get us.

      Yes, abort, abort! You are so not prepared for this LOL. I’m not even sure I was prepared for some of these scenes haha. And those lines are so miiiiild, Dini. You have no idea. It’s 700 pages of adrenaline on the edge of your seat, and you keep thinking it’s almost over and then it’s not lol.

    Today, I’m sharing from Love You, Truly by Susan L. Tuttle: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/12/19/first-line-friday-115/. It’s such a good book!!! Currently, I’m just starting Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews, so I’ll post a line from there:

    “I hated weeding the garden alone, but I’d rather Abba copy his scrolls inside than bear our neighbor’s cutting remarks.”

    Hope you have a great weekend and a blessed Christmas! 😊❤📖
