My Teaser:

My Teaser:

"I'm sorry, Senor Colon, but I cannot accept this." The chancellor was not a fearful man, but the thought of harboring Hebrew documents filled his heart with black dread.

"That is unfortunate." Colon dropped the pouch on his berth and clapped Santangel on the shoulder. "But I understand, Chancellor. I understand."

"What if someone of the younger generation knows that someone of the older generation is a serial killer, but they don't want it acknowledged. The family's honour and all that crap."

Musing Monday

This week’s musing asks…

Would you say that you read about the same amount now as when you were younger? More? Less? Why?

Unfortunately, probably less. I remember in high school coming home and reading classics like The Phantom of the Opera and Sense & Sensibility for fun.

Of all the ridiculous, confusing things, I blushed. I looked around, just to make sure the voice wasn't real.

I haven't forgotten you."

"Gilbert wisely said nothing more; but in his silence he read the history of the next four years in the light of Anne's remembered blush. Four years of earnest, happy work ... and then the guerdon of a useful knowledge gained and a sweet heart won."

- p. 276, Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery
