I kicked off my Reading Tour of Italy with Waterfall by Lisa T. Bergren, an adventure in which our heroine, Gabi, is exploring an ancient tomb while on vacation in Italy and suddenly finds herself thrust back in time to the fourteenth century. I loved this time-traveling adventure and I'll be posting my review tomorrow so come back and check it out. Here's a random teaser from page 135:

     We entered the hallway, and the door shut behind us. Then, the men released me. "You," Marcello thundered, pointing at me, "shall not go out there again!"

     "Somebody must stand for decency!" I spat back. "What kind of barbarians are you?"

And this one from page 253 because I just loved it (and Marcello!):

    

     "Nay, this is not wise at all. But sometimes the heart tells us to venture where the mind fears to tread."

Have you heard? No spring break vacation for me this year, so I'm on a Reading Tour of Italy! All month I'll be posting Italian-themed reviews, teasers, and giveaways. 

 

There's nothing I like better than to enjoy a cup of coffee while I'm reading. Oh, to be sitting at an outdoor cafe on the Piazza del Campo...well, a girl can always pretend! So I'm sharing the love. Have a latte on me! I've got a $5 Starbucks e-card up for grabs!
