"Nadzia tucked the cleaning rag into her apron in exchange
for her feather duster. She held it out like it was a dance partner and placed her
other hand against her chest in mock modesty." ~Cinderella's Dress by Shonna Slayton
I am enjoying this book ever so much! I'm about half-way through and am a teensy bit worried that this book is going to be a part of the story and that I'll have to wait a long time to see the conclusion. It opens towards the end of World War II and the author is exploring the theme of women's place in society in a very well done way.
Freda's Voice hosts this fun meme. Turn to page 56 or 56% on ereader and post a non-spoiler sentence or two.

I've been wanting to read Cinderella's Dress since I first came across it! The story line, the fairy tale retelling and the cover get me every time. Thanks for sharing! I have to go look up Mannequin Girl now too!
A great beginning for a book! I love retellings of fairytales, so I am going to have to check this one out.
My TTT!
LOL Thanks for popping by for Book Blogger. I don't have a set schedule either but I do pre-schedule many of my posts so I know what is coming and what to prepare for. But Thursdays is the only day I have a weekly meme post, besides Friday, so that's the only day that always have posts, if I'm not lazy.
I think Cinderella's Dress is up my alley. I love fairy tale re-tellings!
Happy weekend!
The cover is gorgeous! Thanks for posting the beginning on BBOF!
My number of posts varies too. I think it is difficult to set a certain number of posts per week. You never know what will come up. :)
Love the cover of Cinderella's Dress. Sounds quite good. THANKS for sharing your Book Beginnings.
Have a good weekend.
Happy Hopping!!

That's an interesting beginning to Cinderella's Dress, neat description.
I am obsessed and fascinated with WWII; plus, I love fairy tales! I am curious if this book has a fairy tale/WWII approach. If so, I'm in! I'll be looking the book through on Goodreads; thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend! :)
I tend to post daily, sometimes that can increase, some days I may just even take a day off lol Book Blogger Hop xx
