"All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape."
--Author Christopher Benson

THURSDAYS ARE FOR MOVIN' AND SHAKIN'


Movers and Shakers
Thursdays
This "MeMe" comes from Lynda at Between The Pages 
and it looked like fun so I thought we would try it out here.  
Let me know what you think. 

The Movers and Shakers MeMe is a post that will explore the explosive and impelling force of just 25*
words or less. Words that impel me to continue turning pages. They might be an unexpected plot twist, startling revelation, special bit of humor, or frigid warning of things to come. Sometimes they may be words that shove me on an emotional roller coaster. Whatever their purpose, the author has succeeded in pulling me further into his/her story. In my selection, I'll be careful not to use 'spoilers'.

*I have changed the number of words to 25 or less, because I kept going over, and didn't want to miss sharing such powerful statements that kept me turning page after page.



Here are my Movers and Shakers for this week.
 
1.  "...a shower of glass exploded...and a rush of hot air enveloped her, the shock of it knocking her to the ground."
Chapter & Hearse (A Booktown Mystery)
From:  Chapter & Hearse by Lorna Barrett

2.  I see this as a new beginning, as if the hourglass 
has been turned over once again and the sands are flowing anew."
The Days of our Lives: The True Story of One Family's Dream and the Untold History of Days of our Lives 
From:  The Days of our Lives by Ken Corday
This one just mad me very happy!
