This week I'm reading...
Giovanna "Gigi" Fitzgerald ladled a generous serving of mushroom barley soup into each of the open containers lined upon her kitchen island. Once filled, they would go into white boxes with Gigi's Gourmet De-Lite written on them in silver script. She glanced out the window of her small cottage where fat flakes of snow drifted past. According to the radio, accumulation was less than an inch so far, and she trusted her bright red MINI Cooper would make it through okay. She had several hungry customers waiting for the diet gourmet food she delivered for each of their meals.
Reg, her West Highland white terrier, was asleep right next to the heating vent. Gigi smiled. Reg knew how to make himself comfortable. And when she was cooking, he was never far away. If a piece of food happened to hit the floor, his eyes would fly open immediately and he would be on it so fast there would be no time to invoke the five-second rule.
Would you continue reading?
This one caught my interest. Yes, I'd probably keep reading.

I like the picture the opening paints: the cottage, the falling snow (icing?), the dog, the car...so I'd keep reading.

I'd probably keep reading. It's been a while since I read a cute cozy.
ReplyDeleteThe life of Reg! I need to get out more. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely keep reading. The only problem is that this book would probably make me hungry, and I'm trying to lose a few pounds!
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from SPARE CHANGE.
How cute, and if you do have or ever had a dog, who can't relate to the dog sleeping in the kitchen but the eyes fly open the minute you drop a bit of food on the floor.
