DeleteI have not read this book, but it is on my never ending TBR list ;) My first line is from Love's Dwelling by Kelly Irvin. "A crimson cardinal perched on top of the empty bird feeder outside the kitchen window."
ReplyDeleteI understand the never ending TBR list--I think mine wraps around the entire Earth. :) Happy reading Cindy!
DeleteI'm reading Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese. It's absolutely amazing. Here's a line from the chapter I'm currently on: "in the eighth grade I went on my first-ever real camping trip to the mountains with a group from my school."
