The Friday 56 – The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted over at Freda’s Voice. The rules are simple and go something like this.

1.  Grab a book, any book.
2.  Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that’s ok.)
3.  Find any sentence, (or a few, just don’t spoil it)
4.  Post it.
5.  Add the post url, not your blog url to the Linky.
6. Tweet it #Friday56 (not an official Freda’s Voice rule)

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini has been on my TBR for years now and I challenged another booktuber that if he read Children of Blood and Bone I would read The Kite Runner. He took me up on said challenge and now I MUST read The Kite Runner. So, I will be reading it in the month of January.

Baba smoked his pipe talked. I pretended to listen. But I couldn’t listen, not really, because Baba’s casual  little comment had plated a seed in my head: the resolution that I would win that winter’s tournament. I was going to win. There was no other viable option. I was going to win, and I was going to run that last kite. Then I’d bring it home and show it to Baba. Show him once and for all that his son was worthy.
