Although this is a Wednesday book blog hop, you are welcome to hop in at any time throughout the week. Just grab the button and link for your blog post where you share exactly 100 words from your current read(s) and add your post URL to the linky list provided at the end of this post. Feel free to share anything else you'd like on your post, especially book-related items. And be sure to visit and/or introduce yourself to others on the WoW list during the week.
I use The Word Count Tool to count my book excerpts. I type in the box provided, then once I have 100 words, I copy and paste it right into my blog post.
Now, on to the sharing of the welcome distraction: Disrupted Lives by author Brenda Youngerman. Since I do not care for prologues in fiction work and generally do not even bother to read them, I decided to read and share an excerpt from the PROLOGUE of Disrupted Lives. Why? Because Brenda made me read it and it is worthy of sharing! (smiles..:-)
Amelia didn't answer. She never had the answer. She just knew that her heart broke every time she went back to the rainy night that she gave away her baby.
Note: That was actually 105 words, as I just didn't have the heart to not share those last five words of that last paragraph.
Hmmmm....that sounds like a mighty interesting book you're reading there....I might just have to read it myself. :)

I NEVER knew you didn't read prologues until you told me that a few months ago...so in your honor....Skewered Halo does not have one. (You see you truly are my BFF on line ;)
Well, aren't you a sweet one! Brenda, who knows, you may have me reading prologues in the future. I just feel that whatever's in the prologue is part of the meat of the story and therefore should be in the story itself. Forewords I understand and enjoy reading, but prologues seem frivolous to me.
