Opening Sentence of the Day: Corked



"When it comes to champagne and our family, my father has only one absolute rule:  We do not drink it when we are sad."

Corked by Kathryn Borel.

This didn't get very good reviews, but I am going into it with an open mind. I love the cover and the idea of driving through French wine country appeals to me. We'll see how it goes. Good first sentence at least.

  2. That is a nice first sentence. I hope you enjoy Corked regardless of the negative reviews. I think the setting sounds very interesting anyway.

  4. I actually think that's a hreat opening line , and the cover is really good. I have one rule with champagne, I only allow myself to drink it at weddings or the races!

  6. Thanks for all the visits and comments. I skedaddled out of town Friday as soon as I put this post up and am just back now to check comments.

    I read this book yesterday -- a quick read, for sure. It reminded me not to put much stock in amazon reviews when the criticism is based on personal taste. I thought this book was thoroughly entertaining, interesting, and well-written.
