Book Beginnings - 4/19/2019

My Book Beginnings is taken from THE MISSING YEARS by Lexie Elliott:

"The Manse is watching me.  At first I don't notice it, I'm too involved in my study of the imposing gray stone edifice before me.  It's a tall structure -- three stories, and the first two must have high ceilings -- with a turret and stepped gables like sets of staircases."

    Could not track this one down but got another by the same author. All wonderful reviews.

      It was a bit slow, but not a bad read..

      Thanks for commenting, Mystica.

    I'd keep reading to find out why the character feels that the manse is watching him/her. The title is intriguing, too.
    My Friday post features excerpts from Buffalo Gal.

    The manse is watching her? Is that a figure of speech or something really creepy? My review and quotes for VOICES

      The manse was what they called the house - it was haunted or said to be haunted.

      Thanks for commenting, Anne.
