Last week, we celebrated audiobooks. This week I am reveling in the visual.
by Vivian Swift
Every Tuesday, Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea posts the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book she decided to read based on the opening paragraph(s). Feel free to grab the banner and play along.
Why is this author's name familiar? I've added this book to my list. I'm doing both First Paragraph Tuesday and Paris in July too. Here's Mine
ReplyDeletePaulita - Her name has been mentioned quite a bit on Paris in July reading lists... maybe that's it?
DeleteI am just following the Paris in July meme and enjoying the posts. So much variety and what gorgeous photographs.
