“We’re not hungry” five-year-old Peggy said earnestly, “we had turkey and bacon”.

i definitely need to add this trilogy to my TBR list!
So good. Outside of my normal comfort zone and SO worth it.
Oh, that’s on my review list for August! Sounds funny! 🙂
“Ireland, July 1815 “Tell us a story, Niall,” Pierre asked, his empty tankard dangling from his fingers.” ~ O’er the River Liffey by Heidi Ashworth.
ooo i need to check into this one! I love books set in Ireleand!
Me too (and Scotland)! 😀
It’s part of the Matchmaker series although they can all be read as stand alone’s. Have you read any of those?
i have not!! MUST find time to do so soon!
Joshua Poldark died in March 1783.
–Aidan Turner, er um, Poldark by Winston Graham
lol lol – you are on a mission to make me swoon as much as possible with all your mentioning of Aidan Turner and Drew and Richard Armitage, aren’t you? 😉
Hee hee . . . you have uncovered my evil scheme!
But come on! New Poldark (Aidan Turner) is so > Old Poldark (Rabbity Looking 70s Guy), how can I not?
😀
hahahaha !
Let me tell you how it all really began.
Love is Something You Do by Shery and Bobby Burnette
that is a great title! and an intriguing first line 🙂
“I last attended worship service on a blustery Sunday in March, the year I turned seven.” – Jaded by Varina Denman (I’m almost half way through the book and can barely put it down!)
oh! oh! I love that book – the whole series!! Yay!
I CAN’T write the first line of the book I’m reading right now because I’m a beta reader for a new book by Kristen Heitzmann. I CAN say it’s fantastic and you’ll want to read it when it comes out. The first book in her new series IS out and just as good. “I Told You So.”….. Look it up!
Oooooo I have I Told You So! And the next one too!!! Yay!!!
I can’t wait for the undisclosed title you’re reading to release. Told You So was one of those books that sticks with you and keeps you thinking LONG after you’ve finished it–so good. You know, it may be time for a reread.
😀
“You know why I have called you here, do you not?” So Rare a Gift by Amber Lynn Perry.
Eeeeeee this one is on my must read soon list!!
From His Timeless Treasure by Kristen Ethridge: “For the love of pizza. Just stay put, will ya?”

The book closest to me is Parade of Stories, (my childhood friend). The first story is “One Cold Day” by Elizabeth Coatsworth
“One cold day in late November, when the first show was beginning to fall, a little boy got lost in the woods.”
I also want to share what is on the title page.
