Please join me today over at Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. Who knows? You might find your new favorite book over there.
Today I am bringing you the first few lines from “The Girl Who Chased The Moon” by Sarah Addison Allen. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Ms. Allen’s books and look forward to whatever she writes next.
"It took a moment for Emily to realize the car had come to a stop. She looked up from her charm bracelet, which she’d been worrying in slow circles around her wrist, and stared out the window. The two giant oaks in the front yard looked like flustered ladies caught mid-curtsy, their starched green leaf-dresses swaying in the wind."
Poor Emily! You just have to wonder what’s on her mind and where she is going.
Good start. Here is my post:

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Sarah Addison Allen is an evocative writer.

I like the beginning. I have never heard of the book or author though. I will have to do some more checking into her and her work. Happy reading!
I’m like Kathy — I will have to go investigate more. Looks good.
Thanks for participating in Book Beginnings! Sorry I am slow this week to come by and visit your post.
No problem! This book was really good as were the rest of Ms. Allen’s books. Thanks for hosting.
