“They were close enough that he could feel the hurried beat of her heart. He could feel Charlotte’s indecision in every word she didn’t say and every move she didn’t make. She was tense with uncertainty, quivering with irresolution. She might not be leaning into him, but she wasn’t pulling away, either.” Temptation of the Night Jasmine by Lauren Willig

“To my annoyance, not only did the speaker refer to turtles by their common names, but the lecture ended after only an hour. I’d been enjoying the slides and the speakers commentary and congratulating myself on my ability to recognize different turtle species.

As Bess advanced, it was the Cardinal who looked at her with calm concern and held out a fat jeweled hand to stop her. It was the first time in all these years she had ever seen his fleshy face full of anything but condescension for her, “Perhaps you should not get to close my dear they are quite certain now it is the sweating sickness.” ~ The Queens Rival by Diane Haeger pg 201

Anne shifted in the bed, trying to get comfortable. “She has recently given birth. She has a good supply of milk.”

Cecily gave a dismissive gesture with one plump hand, “That is the least of it. A wet nurse must be of good character, else the child will drink in her bad habits when he suckles. I am not surprised that Lady Hungerford did not know this only have had two children.” ~ At the Kings pleasure by Kate Emerson

“I swear by God I never abused my sovereigns bed.” Wept pleadingly, the words were lost on the wind one that blew over a nation that cared nothing for the young Queen nor the grim fate she steadily neared. Yet, horror-striken, she spoke to them still, a silent testimony to the truth no one wished to hear, “In the name of God and all his holy angels and on the salvation of my soul, I am innocent of the crimes for which I am condemned!” ~ page 1 The Queens mistake by Diane Haeger

I am currently working on three books. My craft ADD seems to have passed on to books. That is okay though one is a re-read for me.

“As I stood outside in Cow Lane, it occurred to me that Heaven must be a place where the library is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No … eight days a week.” ~ The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Flavia de Luce #1)
by Alan Bradley

““He promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do.” ~ The White Queen (The Cousins’ War #1)
by Philippa Gregory (this is my re-read)

“If they could have made the journey entirely by horseback, Seraphine would have been an interpid traveler and an agreeable companion. Seraphine mewed up in a ship for so long was an entirely different creature, but Sir Patrick had been anxious to return to London as soon as possible.” ~ The Lady of Secrets (The Dark Queen Saga #6)

“An old house is alive with ghosts. Each person that lived there made some kind of mark; if not in the choice of paint or cabinetry, then in a ding in the wall, a faucet with the handles installed backward, or a name carved out in the wallpaper behind the bed in secret. In some way, each voice that wandered its rooms whispers, “I was here.”
― Jessica L. Randall, The Obituary Society
