Karen's:

From Pg. 10 Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker.

From page 17 of Smart Pickleball:  The Pickleball Guru's Guide by Prem Carnot.

From page 53 of Fierce Kingdom by Alexandra Sirowy.

From pate 115 of The Marriage Pact by Michelle Richmond.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.   Anyone can play along, so I thought  I  would play for fun! Just pick two sentences from the book you are reading.  Happy Reading!
