First Line Friday

Shawshank, November 27, 2020November 14, 2020

So did everyone guess correctly? Was it too difficult? Will this one stump you or not?

Ok, last weeks book was: House of Leaves. Quite possibly my favourite book. If you haven’t read it, you probably should.

And now this weeks:

The naked child ran out of the hide-covered lean-to toward the Rocky beach at the bend in the small river. It didn’t occur to her to look back. Nothing in her experience ever gave her the reason to doubt the shelter and those within it would be there when she returned.

Until next week my friends!
