Mardi sur son 31 #34

On adhère carrément à ce rendez-vous fort sympathique proposé par Les Bavardages de Sophie! Le concept est simple, chaque semaine nous nous retrouvons pour vous faire partager une citation de la page 31 de notre lecture en cours. Cela vous permet de découvrir de nouveaux styles littéraires et au passage on peut également se faire une petite idée sur le livre proposé 🙂

‘Well, we could take it to the Botanic Garden. The Plant Science place. They’d know who he was.’

‘Yes, but we know he was killed. So it’s really a matter for the police. We’ve got to, Pan.’
