Thursday Thirteen #3: Swimming
A Thursday Thirteen about SWIMMING by Joanna Hershon. This is her first book. And if you like, you can have this book at the beginning of the next T13. This is in good condition, and it’s used. I’ve gone through it. Just mention it in your comments if you would like the book. This one is limited to USA and Canada due to postage returns. Thirteen random sentences from the book.
1. Back of the book mentioned: Two brothers, one girlfriend, one fateful night at a New Hampshire pond where jealousy rages out of control….
{all these sentences came from the book}
2. There is no such thing as silence in the woods.
3. He looked at her strangely, as if she’d done something wrong.
4. The house was waiting.
5. She waded to shore.
6. “Who cooked?”
7. He started to yell.
8. The sky shone pale through the darkness in an indecisive dawn.
9. He had a sober face and a heartbreaking smile.
10. That would be flaky and even romantic.
11. She had made him feel bad.
12. Her voice was as light as air, while inside she could not escape a vision of Aaron pushing Jack into the position she remembered so well-
13. The bookshelf was small and the books were surprisingly mostly fluff.
