The Friday 56 (9)

The Friday 56 is a weekly bookish meme hosted over at Freda's Voice. The rules are easy  to follow, and this is a great way to share books with other bloggers.

So what do you need to do?

• Go to page 56 (or 56%) of the book you're currently reading
• Copy down and share a few sentences with your blog's readers, but be sure not to spoil anything major
• Add your name to the link-up on Freda's blog

This Friday, I'm reading Open Road Summer by Emery Lord. I've had it on my shelves for a while, and I was in the mood for a good contemporary, so I went with this one.

I was pleasantly surprised to find song lyrics on page 56 of this book because I pretty much am obsessed with music and lyrics. I'm including the lyrics along with a short passage from the book.

Oh, you know I'm only human;
I bend and fall and break.
You cut me and I bleed;
I'm a mess for you to make.
So forget the words and give me deeds;
My heart was yours to take.

"'What are you listening to?' she asks when I remove my headphones. She narrows her eyes at me, and I feel as if I've been caught in a personal moment."
