Friday Quotes, Nov. 14

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader
The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice

Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading.

Book: Landline by Rainbow Rowell

Format: Audiobook

Progress: I'm listening to disc 3 of 7.
