Hi ValBookReviews, hope you don't mind me asking, but are you a book reviewer? If so, do you get paid?

I'm thinking about giving this a try, in case anyone could recommend a good website to try

Pasadena, California. It was an extremely unnerved Vince Fuller who returned to his comfortable home in Pasadena’s historic Highlands.

IT WAS ALMOST December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought. Frightened meant that deep, sickening feeling of somethibg terrible about to happen. Frightened was the way he had felt a year ago when an unidentified aircraft had overflown the community twice.

The Giver
Lois Lowry


Just a couple more senctences then the first quote, but I just love the idyllic book so much, I had to write more, then just the first line. I love Lois Lowry in all her works; great author.
