Winter is here! And here to stay…At least where I come from. I am looking forward to curling up with a good read and enjoying the snow…from inside my warm house, wrapped in a fuzzy WARM blanket…Drinking hot cider. I LOVE winter, but I do NOT like being cold. I am looking forward to reading this particular book over the upcoming weekend. What is on your TBR this winter?
Today’s first line is from…
A Song Unheard
by Roseanna M. White
London, England
September 28, 1914
The music seeped into her soul like fog over the Thames.
I don’t know about you, but I ADORE music! And this line makes me want to close my eyes and drink in the melodious sound drifting around her…*sigh*

Loved A Song Unheard, because it features the cities where I was born and where my children were born (and because it’s a great story!).
I’m sharing the first line from The View from Rainshadow Bay by Colleen Coble on my blog – another great romantic suspense novel. And I’m currently reading Missing Isaac, the brilliant debut from Valerie Fraser Luesse. Here’s the first line:
A sleepy purple twilight wrapped around the farmhouse, its tall windows glowing with warmth from somewhere inside.

I’m featuring the first line from Susan May Warren’s “Troubled Waters” on my blog today, but right now I’m deep into “A Moonbow Night” by Laura Frantz:
“What cannot be cured must be endured.”
Have a great weekend 🙂

I’m sharing about Until We Find Home by Cathy Gohlke on the blog today, but since it’s the closest book to me since it’s what I’m currently reading, I’ll share it here as well.
May 1940
Lightning crackled, splitting the night sky over Paris, illuminating letters painted on the bookstore window across the street: La Maison de Amis Livres. Driving rain pounded the loose shutters of Shakespeare and Company, making them rattle so that Claire Stewart dropped the heavy blackout curtain into place.
Happy Friday!

I’m reading a mainstream suspense at the moment, ARE YOU SLEEPING by my debut author friend Kathleen Barber. Here’s the first line: “Nothing good happens after midnight.” The good news is Reese Witherspoon picked up Kathleen’s book and is adapting it into a TV series starring Octavia Spencer. The bad news is I’ve run across a couple of words that made me cringe, but so far they have been very few and sporadic, so I just try to pretend I didn’t see them. 🙂
