Here's my entry: Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo

Adam glanced down at my feet. “Too bad there’s no mat with a key under it.”

His offhand comment sparked a memory. I looked toward the yew tree. “I wonder…” I moved toward it. The ancient branches grew almost to the ground. I pushed aside some leaf obstacles and disappeared into the tree’s shadow.

Have a great Friday!

Here's my entry: Diana, Her True Story by Andrew Morton

A doctor came and saw me. I told him I was being sick. He didn't know what to say because the issue was too big for him to handle. He just gave me a pill and shut me up.

It was all very strange, I just felt miserable. I knew the bulimia started the week after we got engaged. My husband put his hand on my waistline and said: Oh, a bit chubby here aren't we? and that triggered off something in me - and the Camilla thing, I was desperate, desperate.


Have a great Friday!

Tea Time for the Traditionally Built by Alexander McCall

She finished her tea and began to walk back into the house. There is plenty of work for love to do. Yes. There was breakfast to be made, and letters to be answered, and the problems in clients' lives to be sorted out.

The Friday 56

I found this great meme hosted by Storytime With Tonya and Friends and thought I might enjoy the fun!

Here is my first foray into The Friday 56...

...it's Dead and Gone, the 9th in the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. Stay tuned for a review of the book soon.





There was a traditional cross erected in the employee parking lot, back by the trees where the gravel gave way to dirt. A body was nailed to it. My eyes scanned it, took in the distorted body, the streaks of dried blood, came back up to the face.

Happy Friday!
