The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul by Deborah Rodriguez
Beginning:
It was a vibrant blue-skied Afhgan morning, the kind that made Yazmina stop to loosen her scarf and tilt her face to the sun.
My thoughts: I also live in a warm climate, and I love those kind of days, when you would consider abandoning yourself to the golden sunshine (preferably with a book in one hand) and lie on your back with the blue sky the only backdrop to the peace.
The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice. Grab a book, any book. Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that's ok.) Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)

Is the gal wearing a scarf because she is Muslim so it would be unusual that she tipped it back? Sounds like a good book. My Friday Quotes
I've never heard of this one, but I love the cover. The color used is great! :)
Check out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
I never thought of that. I think Yazmina is Muslim. Maybe no one was around, so she just did it? It is unusual.
Doesn't sound like this is for me, but I hope you are enjoying it.

Visited this morning. And yes I love that color too.
This isn't the sort of thing I usually read. I hope you are enjoying it. This week I'm spotlighting The Obsession by Nora Roberts. Happy reading!
Oh my goodness, I love the cover and the quotes you shared made me very curious about the book.
Sounds intriguing...thanks for sharing, as I probably wouldn't have picked up this one. Enjoy! And thanks for visiting my blog.
I like to read books set in foreign places, and this sounds like a good one. The cover reminds me of the mandalas in my adult coloring book.
My Friday post features LONGSHOT.
I can definitely relate to that kind of sun! That first hit of heat feels so amazing. I like the sound of this teasers you've shared. I'll have to look for this book.
This is new to me, but it sounds like a nice story. I love to sit and read in the sun too. Just as long as it's not too hot! Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a great weekend!
This sounds delightful and I love that feeling of the sun on my face. Checking this one out:)

I love the cover and the beginning of this book - great choice - and I agree I love those kind of sunny days!. Here's my Friday meme
I haven't seen this book before. Sounds interesting and I like the setting.
I'm quite interested to read more. I love books about other cultures. Happy weekend!
This sounds like a wonderful read ... Happy reading!
