This week I'm reading...




From page 56 on my Nook...

Each short, sudden drop of the elevator was accompanied by a loud grinding of gears, causing me to wonder if the elevator's mechanical components had received the same restorative attention.

I gripped onto the side railing as the elevator paused at the first floor. The metal doors slid open to reveal an elderly man in an expensive-looking suit and highly polished shoes.

    Considering she 'gripped' the side railing, I'm going to assume the cat isn't the protagonist in this book! I like the writing style though, it's descriptive without overloading me with details! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great weekend!

    Cute cover and I hope the elevator also received the restorative treatment! I'm always a little bit nervous in elevators.

    Being in an elevator that begins to do funny things is a frightening experience . . .

    Yikes! I'd hate to be in an elevator that drops suddenly. Grinding gears would freak me out too. I'd dash past the man in the nice suit and jump out immediately.
    Here's the link to my Friday post: RESCUE MY HEART.

    I love the cover, and your "56" makes me wonder what will happen next.

    If cats really do have 9 lives, I know a cat that will outlive us all! :-)
    Well, can't fix the elevator, but at least sharp dressed people live there and may possibly die in the elevator. ;-)
