    Happy Friday!
    I'm currently reading Come back to Me by Jody Hedlund. I'm just starting chapter 11, so I'll share from there:
    "How could she possibly survive without money?"
    Hope you have an excellent weekend. Happy reading! 🙂❤📚

    This week I am featuring Chasing Shadows by Lynn Austin, a stupendous book!

    The Netherlands. may 1945 prologue
    Every sound in the coal-black night seemed magnified as Lena lay awake in bed, waiting. She heard the quiet rustlings of the shadow people as they crept through the darkness in her farmhouse.

    Happy Weekend! My first line is from "Just Look Up" by Courtney Walsh:

    "Lane Kelley rested her hand on her knee, willing it to stop bouncing."

    Today, I'm sharing the first line from A Companion for the Count by Sally Britton. "Clairvoir Castle, the Duke of Montfort's estate, housed over thirty servants, eight members of the duke's family, a governess, and Emma Arlen -- who really did not fit in any of the other categories of occupants."
