It really places the reader. And those descriptions are lyrical. I know what you mean too about books where you start out with no real idea of the sort of book it is and what's going to happen. That doesn't always work well, but sometimes it's really effective. I think it can draw the reader in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-58223541636536599172014-04-30T14:03:39.028+01:002014-04-30T14:03:39.028+01:00This is a bit over-exciting for you, I know, I'...This is a bit over-exciting for you, I know, I'll try to dial things down the rest of the week.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-15345496863006489842014-04-30T11:14:32.155+01:002014-04-30T11:14:32.155+01:00Embroidery eh.....my heart skipped a couple of bea...Embroidery eh.....my heart skipped a couple of beats and my pulse is racing.
