“Even if she hadn’t been the last person to walk through the turnstile at Warren Street tube station, Jack Barker would have noticed the tall, slender woman in the navy blue, thigh-length jacket with a matching pleated skirt short enough to reveal a well-turned ankle.” ~Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear
I don’t know what has taken me so long to read the Maisie Dobbs series, but I love this first book. It’s so well written and Maisie is a wonderful character! Read and enjoy! 🙂

I bought When Love Calls back in August, and really need to read it!
My first line is from Joel C. Rosenberg’s new book Without Warning:
“I had never been in the Oval Office before.
But I’d always imagined my first time going differently.”

The Oval Office, huh? hmmm I wonder if the character is in trouble. 😉
