Liv Constantine is the pen name of sisters Lynne Constantine and Valerie Constantine. Don‘t Open Your Eyes is the only 1 I haven‘t read. Great thrillers!

I. The scent of lilacs echoes spring in Minnesota as a child. The scent of peonies is connected to Mom💗
II. Our neighbor Emma had a gorgeous flower garden surrounded by a white fence and beautiful gate-slice of heaven.

“Please learn the pragmatics of expressing fear: sometimes words that seem to express really invoke. This can be tricky.”
This book has many great (noncontexual) quotes but #Difficult to read through.

These two novels - seem to either be loved or hated. Tried Alchemist x2 book, bailed. Listened to audio all of it - still don‘t like it. Read Catcher when I was young, did nothing for me. Read it a few years ago, do not LOVE, but understand it better with its unique format and premise.
Thoughts?

1-over the years, we‘ve had 5 dogs, 10 cats, gerbils, turtles, and fish
2-I love stories with horses, dogs, cats, and other pets
3-tagged is a Newbery winner: dog who unwittingly becomes a hero to a park full of animals. Johannes, a free dog, lives in an urban park by the sea. His job is to be the Eyes—to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park‘s elders, three ancient Bison.

1.yes, a few dollars and coins sometimes - you never know when you might need it
2. Count Rostov was a wealthy elite before the Russian revolution; but he was an eloquent, kind, and thoughtful man who had so much love in his heart; however, bc of wealth and social status he was condemned to live inside the Metropol Hotel and never leave.
