Q. How do you keep track of books you will be reviewing or reading? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)
A. A long time ago, I used to receive books from various places in exchange for an honest review. After a while it seemed like a chore so I stopped. Now I only read for pleasure. I write reviews of the books I read usually the same day I finish the book. I like to put my thoughts down before they escape me!

I like the quotes for this one. It looks like an interesting story. Enjoy your current read! :-)
ReplyDeleteI suspect Graham is about to get himself into trouble!
ReplyDeleteGreat excerpts, and I love the book cover. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “YOU CAN’T CATCH ME”
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from IF I WERE YOU. By Lynn Austin:
ReplyDeletePrologue. London, November, 1945
Eve Dawson bolted upright in bed.
I review a lot of books and keep track on goodreads. I write reviews as soon as I can, because I read quite a few books and tend to forget, if I don’t do it right away.
Ok, page 56 is hilarious today! Have a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThese are both great lines! This story definitely sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteOn my blog this week, I'm sharing the first line from What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K. Sproles:
1877--Sourwood Mountain, Tennessee
"They was nothing I could do for her."
Hope you have a lovely weekend :)
I wonder why eggs made them smile?! Sounds like a good read! Happy weekend, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteOver on my blog I shared the first line from the Mayflower Bride by Kimberly Woodhouse
"A splinter of wood pierced Mary Elizabeth Chapman's thumb as she crept behind her lifelong friend Dorothy Raynsford."

This book sounds so good!
Have a lovely weekend!
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Murder in the Family” by Ramona Richards:
ReplyDelete” ‘Aunt Liz, you can’t keep doing this. It’s going to get you killed.’ And it had.”
I use Goodreads to keep track on my TBR books, to note which books I review, and what page I'm on my current read. My Friday Quotes
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from At Love's Command by Karen Witemeyer:
ReplyDelete"According to the Good Book, there was a time for war and a time for peace."
Have a great weekend! 😃❤📚
I write reviews as soon as I finish reading too, Colletta. Although I don't always publish them straight away.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend. x
I like the opening line. The page 56 teaser leaves me baffled. :)
ReplyDeleteFencing team? That sounds intriguing. :)

I haven't read any of Kristi Ann Hunter's books, but they sound good! Today, I'm sharing the first line from Coming Home to Maverick by Sophia Summers: "Maverick dipped his hat lower against the hot Texas sun. A man's hat could hide a lot of things, unfortunately, not everything."
