  1. Happy Friday! My first line is from Karen Kirst’s new LIH book The Engagement Charade, coming out July 1st (and it’s REALLY good!): “Alexander Copeland’s one goal in life was to be left alone.”

  3. Prologue

    RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 1864

  4. Deep in a narrow hollow among gentle mountain foothills, a hungry little red fox crouched perfectly still beside a shallow, flowing stream.

    A strange one to include here, but it’s the one I’m reading. 🙂

  5. Finally getting to “A Portrait of Emily Price” by Katherine Reay.
    “Piccolo. The restaurant matched its name- a tiny and delicate white stucco building with a short, neat brick walk leading from its front door to the parking lot.”

  11. Talk about a hook! I haven’t read anything by her yet.

    I’m starting a novella by Melissa Tagg called “Three Little Words”. The first line is “Seven years shouldn’t feel like such a gaping span of time.”
