Happy Friday everyone. Sorry this is late, but I'm trying to juggle so many things right now. Not able to do much reading, but started a new anthology this week: "Love at First Laugh" Eight novellas, all with light-hearted tone; perfect for a quick escape. This week: Pepper Basham's book titled Second Impressions and here's the first line:

Birthdays were not her happy place.
Or at least they hadn't been for the last three years.

Happy reading!

  3. That collection is sitting on my Kindle waiting for me to read my way down the list to get to it! :) So many great books, so little time!

    Did you know Pepper read the first page of that story aloud on her Facebook Page? https://www.facebook.com/KathleenDenly.author/posts/662871047232600

  5. Love that novella!

    My first line is from Karen Sargent's upcoming release, Waiting For Butterflies:

    'Maggie heard the key in the front door and looked at the clock on the nightstand: 1:48 a.m. Nearly twenty-four hours had passed since the phone had jarred her awake and Sam out of bed."
