I am posting for this meme a passage from a book
presented on France Book Tours
***
Click on the book cover to know more about the book
I wonder what defines me, now. What characteristics I had already ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago, and that I didn’t try to do anything about. Like separating the soft part of the bread from the crust and rolling it into tiny balls, while continuing to talk with someone, who would be transfixed, even concerned: he’s not going to go and eat those things, is he? Oh yes he is. Like making sure the alarm on the clock radio is set at the right time, checking four times in a row, otherwise I have to start all over. In another life, I must have had many obsessive-compulsive behaviors; in this life, that’s the only one I have.

I can relate being OCD myself. I have some strange quirks according to my family, but it is what it is.
Sounds like a great read! Happy weekend!

Great choice and welcome to the Friday 56! This was so psychologically twisted. I enjoyed the story.

Yes, I enjoy that type of psycho plot also. By the way, I used to do Friday56 often, time to do it more often again

I love this meme. I get to hop around and discover new authors and books. I also enjoy Teaser Tuesdays.

I’m so curious to find out what he is, in his current incarnation. Good share!

thanks. I highly recommend the book, short and different – and it’s not about reincarnation, lol

He sounds like an interesting, quirky character. I’m curious about this book.
My Friday post features THE LOCKET.

the cover is purposely different, as the book is quite different as well! Good to try and short

Yep! That definitely sounds obsessive-compulsive. I hope you are enjoying the book. This week I am spotlighting The Secrets of the Heart by Kasey Michaels which had gotten lost on my TBR mountain. Happy reading!

ah, lost on TBR mountain, sounds quite familiar to me, lol. The book is indeed along these lines, short and very good actually
