 *************** 
My book beginnings is taken from GIRL IN THE AFTERNOON by Serena Burdick:


"Sometimes, in this big, cold house, I pretend I am a explorer on an expedition, navigating the long corridors like rivers, the huge rooms like undiscovered islands."

I haven't read too far. 
**********
Books finished last two weeks:

 THE LOST GIRLS by Heather Young.

 Review is in the book's title.

************

ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN by Wendy Walker.

Review is in the book's title.
 
 This book is a tense, stay-with-you psychological thriller.

      The cover is gorgeous.

      I am not too far into the book, but it does seem as if it will be good.

      Thanks for stopping, Katherine.

    Boy, that sounds like a sad life having to pretend one is an explorer in her own house.
