October 5th's Book Beginnings and Friday 56

Well, I pretty much dropped off the Book Beginnings and Friday 56 train this summer, didn't I?  But it's time to hop back on.

You know, that sentence would go perfectly with the second in the Vintage Toyshop Mysteries by Barbara Early, which was Murder on the Toy Town Express.  But that was last year's book.  This year, we are up to book three, Death of a Russian Doll.

Yes, there is a character named after me in the book.  But I would have loved it either way, I swear.

Have a great weekend, a long weekend for those of you up in Canada.

  2. Welcome back!! That beginning is epic! I really don't think it could get any more intriguing! I'm dying at the 56 though. Got a character named after you, geez, I hope he is a good one. :-) I am so grateful you came back and look forward to your posts every week. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!
