Happy Friday!
My first line comes from a book I will be reading soon, August and Everything After by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski…..
I started wearing my grandmother’s old cat-eye glasses in June, right after my latest crush nearly crushed me.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
Those covers are adorable!
I love mysteries! Happy Friday!
Over on my blog, I am featuring Heather B. Moore’s novel, Worth the Risk. I am very excited to read that book. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
Here, I will post from the novel I am currently reading, A Refuge Assured by Jocelyn Green. It is an AMAZING story that I am enjoying wholeheartedly. I am just starting chapter 29, so I will share the first two lines from this chapter.

Have a good week
I don’t read a lot of cozy mysteries, but enjoy the ones I do get to! And I keep meaning to tell you that even though I live in TN now, I am a U Idaho alumni 🙂
Here’s the first line from my current read.

Happy to meet another Idahoan. I went to Boise High and graduated from the College Idaho. My two brothers are U Idaho alumni. I do read paranormals but they are not too far out. Growing up there was a science fiction cartoon about space travel that was favorite. I can’t remember the name.
These sound great! What a fun series!

It was third quarter with two minutes left on the clock in a savage battle between football rivals San Francisco Sharks and Kansas City Rockets when the sounds that would change her life forever broke through the ordinary chirps of the television announcers.” Traded by Tess Thompson

Happy Friday! My first line is from Forward to What Lies Ahead by Chloe S. Flanagan:
“Regina’s cellphone buzzed sharply, shattering the silence of her apartment and making her coffee table vibrate.”
Good reading.😊
Oooh I love it. Good beginning for what looks like a mystery to be solved and a murderer to be found. Happy reading!
Thank you!
