My Current Read:
"Firefly Island" by Lisa Wingate
The Book Beginning:
"There are times when life is a cursor on a blank page, blinking in a rhythm a bit like and electronic heartbeat, tapping out a question in three little words. What. Comes. Next?"
My Thoughts:
Very true!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 56th Page:
"I don't mean to kill the wedding bliss," he whispered out the side of his mouth."
My Thoughts:
He might not have meant to but he probably did!
I agree, saying you don't mean to basically means you will! And the Beginning also sounds very true! I hope you continue enjoy reading 'Firefly Island' and thanks for sharing! Here's mine: Friday post
