My Book Beginnings is taken from THE TASTE OF AIR by Gail Cleare:

 "Her day began with reassuring rituals.  Make the beds, start a load of laundry, empty the dishwasher. After lining up shiny crystal tumblers inside the glass-fronted cabinets, she filled the upper shelves with neatly nested plates, bowls, and cups.  Her finger found a chipped edge, and she tossed the imperfect saucer into the garbage."

    Sounds interesting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't heard of the book before. This week I am featuring Scandal Above Stairs by Jennifer Ashley. Happy reading!

    I like the beginning. I can understand the need for the morning ritual and the dislike of chipped china/crystal.
