My Book Beginnings is taken from BEFORE AND AGAIN by Barbara Delinsky:
"Mackenzie Cooper had no idea where she was or, more critically, why she hadn't already arrived. Her navigation screen said she was still on the right road, in the right town, but all she could see were woods left and right and a curve of macadam ahead."

ReplyDeleteHave you read Barbara Delinsky's books?
Thanks for stopping.
Oh that would make me nervous! I have no sense of direction so I'm always a little uncomfortable if I don't know exactly where I'm going.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way, Katherine. I need SPECIFIC directions. :)
DeleteThanks for commenting.
I have Before and Again...and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty good. I have not read Ms. Delinsky for a years.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Laurel.
Sounds like a great beginning of a story. I've done the same thing with my GPS. This week I have Better Off Read by Nora Page. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI need to use mine more. :)
DeleteIt does give incorrect information at times.
Thanks for commenting, Kathy.
Barbara Delinsky used to be one of my go-to readers, but I haven't made time for her last couple of books. This one sounds pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read her for a few years, and she isn't an author I read on a regular basis.
DeleteI am enjoying this book.
Thanks for commenting, Kim.
Enticing opening, Elizabeth! I want to learn more about the "curve of macadam", and the rest of this story.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bad curve. :)
DeleteThanks for commenting, Suko.
The books look good, I keep seeing The Husband Hour around blogland.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I saw The Lost for Words Bookshop on NetGalley, it looks like a good one.
Enjoy your week!
I LOVED The Lost for Words Bookshop.
DeleteThe Husband Hour was an ok read for me.
