My book beginnings is taken from THE BLACKBIRD SEASON by Kate Moretti:
"The rain came in sheets, like a wall, forming wide rivulets down the windshield.  The wipers swished and couldn't keep  up.  They were old, needed to be replaced, and left streaks across the glass.  But this was Alecia's car, and she hadn't told him."

Books Finished:
THE WELCOME HOME DINER by Peggy Lampman - review will be on October 10.
 
********** 
ODD CHILD OUT by Gilly MacMillan - review will be October 5.
**********
THE TRUST by Ronald H. Balson - review will be September 19. 

Excellent mystery.

LOVE AND OTHER CONSOLATION PRIZES by Jamie Ford

    I have only read about 4% of the book, and I am loving THE BLACKBIRD SEASON already.

    This is my first book by Kate Moretti. :)

    Thanks for stopping.

    Interesting beginning. The book is new to me. I'm featuring Sleep Like a Baby by Charlaine Harris this week. Happy reading!

    I'll be starting The Blackbird Season next week...I am excited about it, as I loved The Vanishing Year by the author.

    Odd Child Out is another I can't wait to get.

    Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog. Enjoy your visit in NY!

      The Blackbird Season is good.

      There are a lot of comments at the front of the e-book about Vanishing Year. It sounds like it is VERY good.

      I know you will love Odd Child Out

      Thanks...it is a beautiful day here.

      Thanks for commenting, Laurel.
