Nine stories by nine different authors...and they all take place at the fair! The first time I heard about this novella collection, I was thrilled. I have always loved the fair, as well as books and movies that take place at the fair. So if you love the fair as much as I do, you are going to love this novella collection!!! All's Fair in Love and Friendly Competition...North of Lansing Michigan, 1889 Across the narrow train aisle from Sarah, a matron examined her Friday newspaper, the bold print headline proclaiming ANOTHER BALLOONIST SUCCUMBS IN KALAMAZOO. ~Requilted with Love by Carrie Fancett Pagels May 1, 1893 Bettina Gilbert gawked at the White City from a bench on the hurricane deck of the steamship as she balanced a sketchbook on one knee, a white lace glove in her lap to avoid blackening it with graphite smudges. ~Seven Medals and a Bride by Angela Breidenbach Spruce Hill, Vermont July 1896 Edith Grace checked her outfit, making sure she was prepared to garner as much hone as possible in one trip. ~A Taste of Honey by Darlene Franklin Germania Hall, 220 West 9th Street, Sioux Falls, South Dakota Saturday afternoon, September 1901 Fifteen-year-old Reba Diehl gripped the back of her father's sleeve, her heart pounding against her chest as he maneuvered her through the crowded aisle. ~Altered Hearts by Gina Welborn Fallon, Nevada June 1916 If she didn't take a break soon, she was sure her fingers would snap clean off. ~Better with Butter by Jennifer AlLee Comisky Park Chicago, Illinois April 1917 Robert Montgomery wrapped his cold fingers around the steering wheel of the stripped-down Model T. ~Driven to Distraction by Becca Whitham Western Colorado, 1920 It was a perfect apple: round, smooth, undamaged by birds or insects. ~First Comes Pie by Niki Turner "Please, tell me you're fooling." ~Front Paige Love by Amber Stockton Arkansas, 1930 "Turn the light off!" Pa bellowed from his rolltop desk in the living room. ~Competing Hearts by Cynthia Hickey What are you reading? What is your first line? Open the book nearest you and post the first line... |
