Friday 56, #19

It’s time for  Friday 56!  It’s a book meme hosted by Freda at Freda’s Voice. Be sure to visit her blog if you would like to participate.

From Freda’s Voice The Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that’s ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don’t spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post in the Linky on Friday 56. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It’s that simple!

Here’s my contribution:

Dire habitat loss has become the norm for tropical species, but macaws and parrots are further doomed by their own charm. Such beauty doesn’t come cheap: A poacher who captures a young scarlet macaw can sell it into the pet trade for up to $400 U.S. (The fine for being caught is about $325.)

 

This has been on my TBR pile forever. So this year I decided to use it as a part of the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2016 and #ReadMyOwnDamnBooks. What do you think of this excerpt? Would you read this book? Let me know in the comments below. And don’t forget to leave your link below so I can visit your blog. Happy Reading!
