From An Echo In The Bone By, Diana Gabaldon
Page-233-"You've been dreaming of them, haven't you?" I said, when the serving maid had gone out. We'd risen late, tired from the long ride to Wilmington the day before, and were the only diners in the inn's small front room.
He glanced at me and nodded slowly, a small frown between his brows. That made me uneasy; the occasional dreams he had of Bree or the children normally left him peaceful and happy.

I was going to put more but since it is a teaser I am leaving you with that! Happy Reading!

With An Echo in the Bone coming out today I thought I'd do a Teaser from Diana Gabaldon's last Oulander book~~ A Breath of Snow and Ashes~~ a little longer than a teaser but I just can't resist.Next week we'll have An Echo in the Bone!

page 584- I was scolded by everyone in sight, including young Ian, frog-marched upstairs virtually by the scruff of the neck, and thrust forcibly back into bed, where, I was given to understand, I should be lucky to be given bread and milk for my supper. The most annoying aspect of the whole situation was Thomas Christie, standing at the foot of the stairs with a mug of beer in his hand, watching as I was led off, and wearing the only grin I had ever seen on his hairy face.
"What in the name of God possessed ye, Sassenach?" Jamie jerked back the quilt gestured, peremptorily at the sheets.
"Well, I felt quite well and-"
" Well! Ye're the color of bad buttermilk, and trembling so ye can scarcely-- here, let me do that." Making snorting noises, he pushed my hands away from the laces of my petticoats, and had them off me in a thrice.

From : Under The Jolly Roger:Being an Account of the Further Nautical Adventures of Jacky Faber by, L.A. Meyer

The grizzled old seaman who has me around the neck puts rough lips against my ear and whispers," Ye would've gotten clean away from this Hell Ship, girl, if'n you hadn't stopped to save poor Billy, and me mates and me ain't gonna be forgettin' that."
Well, at the very least I shall have a few friends aboard.

From The Last Wife of Henry VIIIby, Carolly Erickson

Page 31- I kept Anne's secret, and wondered whether, after a time, she would either return to Will or seek an annullment. For though the church did not allow divorce, it is possible to have a marriage annullled, if it had not been consummated. Anne did neither. For the time being, she simply dropped out of our lives.

T.A.B. review of "The Whispering Road" by, Livi Michael

The Whispering Road by, Livi Michael is about Joe and Annie, a brother and sister who were abandoned by their mother at a work house in the English country side. They are then sold out as farm hands only to be beaten and abused. They then escape and make their way along a winding road full of peril and danger, but not without a few kind-hearted souls. A few of these include a vagabond who maybe named Travis (he doesn't believe in giving his real name), the dog woman ( who may be a fallen angel), and a traveling circus full of misfits where Annie fits right in. I'll let you find out why. They meet all these people on their way to Manchester in search of their mother.

The Whispering Road is set amongst the middle class rebellion of the upper class. The middle class is trying to over throw the rich. This makes for an interesting plot. You get to see the cracks in the English social classes, and how people start to realize that the way that things are going on, like putting people in to the work houses, hundreds of children being put out on the streets, and the filth that people live in, could be made better.

Over all The Whispering Road isn't a bad book,. It almost feels like it could be split into two books or more though because our main character Joe goes through all these changes and they are very pronounced.You can tell when a new section of his life is about to happen. I give this book 3 ***

Troll Bridge A Rock 'N' Roll Fairy Tale by, Jane Yolen & Adam Stemple-
She lay still, trying to slow her frantic breathing. In her mind, she thought she heard a soft barking chuckle. If she were lucky-- and her luck had not been very good of late--trolls would be too stupid to count to five.

Thirteenth Child by, Patricia Wrede Page 159-
Then I felt magic gathering around us, and I heard Lan's voice say " Uncle Earn," just as cold as the air the day the steam dragon fell on Mr. Stoltz's feed store, I felt even sicker. I didn't think Lan was going to pull the magic in and let it go this time.He was going to let loose, and there was no telling what the result would be. My legs were wobbly, but I struggled to my feet, just as Uncle Earn turned toward Lan and opened his mouth.
" Uncle Earn," I said, loud and clear as I could." If it's me you have a grudge on, it's me you ought to be talking to."

From Hob's Bargain by, Patricia Briggs
Finally,frustrated, I kicked my feet free from the stirups and lay flat on his back, trusting him to follow the others without making a fuss.

The Neighbor by, Lisa Gardner
Pg.54-Miller would guess the high net worth came from a lump sum deposit,such as an inheritance or insurance settlement.He had detectives working on tracing the money now.
