  1. My first line is from Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason

    Chapter 2
    September. Helmed Province, Afghanistan

    Sarah Denning sat on the dirt floor of the Afghani prison cell and shivered in the hinety-degree heat, fighting the fear that had been her constant companion since the Taliban had attacked the school yesterday.

  3. I'm currently reading The London Restoration by Rachel McMillan. I'm just beginning chapter 10, so I'll share from there:
    "The only other time Diana had been at Brent's flat -her flat- in Clerkenwell alone was when she was packing her suitcase to leave for Buckinghamshire."
    I hope you have a great weekend! 😀❤📚

    1. Thank you! I am currently down to being the #4 hold on six copies so I should be getting one soon. I requested it on June 23rd, if that gives you any indication of how long I have been waiting, and how low on the list I was!

    2. Yeah, I waited almost 2 months to get a copy. It was actually estimating 12 weeks but I guess people cancelled their holds or read the book faster.
