  1. Nice descriptive opener. And a bit intriguing - what made the birds start to fly?

  2. "My name is Jimmy Flannery. Maybe you remember I had a little trouble last winter over a gorilla named Baby who's supposed to have killed two gay men, but didn't."

  3. My first line comes from the first chapter of The Mark if Zgrace by KimberleyWoodhouse:
    Monday, May 3, 1909 El Tovar Hotel, Grand Canyon
    Spoons clattered against pots. Steam sputtered out from under lids. The scent of fresh-baked bread and brewing coffee filled the air.

  4. Your book looks cool!

    Happy Friday!
    I am finishing up The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz, so I will share a line from there.
    "Davie is in the tower."
    I hope you have a great weekend!

  7. That is an intriguing opening and I need to take a look at this 1066 saga series. It looks like something I might enjoy.

    1. The first book is called What Fates Impose, which was great! The author also wrote a story for a 1066 anthology called 1066 Turned Upside Down. It explores all different possible scenarios for what could have happened. It was SO good! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30969349-1066-turned-upside-down?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=lHfcky6dgH&rank=1

  8. That's a cool cover! I'm currently reading The sisters of Sea View by Julie Klassen. The first line is: "April 1819. Sarah Summers carefully lifted the family heirloom, a warm mantle of nostalgia settling over her." Hope you had a great weekend!
