Favorite Mugavero Bits!

To continue celebrating Liz Mugavero‘s book birthday, today we’re contributing bits from her books that we particularly liked.

Can’t wait to read the new one!

Barb: Like Edith, I’m eagerly awaiting my copy of A Biscuit, a Casket. So here’s a favorite bit from Kneading to Die.

“That’s why I’m calling. Can you come over right away?”

Sherry: I’m thrilled to have my copy of A Biscuit, A Casket. I always love going to  bookstores and seeing my friends’ books on the shelves! I don’t think an opening line get much better than this:

“Nyla?” Stan asked.

“The poodle from down the road. She competes with Benny for everything.” Nancy rolled her eyes. “I heard she’s dressing up like a mermaid.”
