This week, I'm reading...
Lila Mae Alcott sat in her sitting room in front of her computer. She jotted notes on a slip of paper, then logged off and stood. Louie, Lila Mae's fluffy, champagne-colored Tibetan spaniel jumped out of his dog bed, ready for action.
"Come on, Louie," Lila Mae said. "We've got to talk to Amelia about this." They headed through the master bedroom, down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Amelia Martinez, Lila Mae's devoted housekeeper, cook extraordinaire and confidant was reading The Houston Chronicle at the kitchen island. "Hey, boss," she said. "Don't bother with the paper today...there's no happy news to report."
What do you think? Would you continue reading?
Sounds good to me, plus I grew up in Houston.

I';d read the blurbs on the cover to find out more about the book first. Is it a mystery? Those look like blood stains on the rolling pin!

ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from KEEPING FAITH.
I'd keep going--just to put the pieces together. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteI would read on. Looks like a mystery.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely go on reading, just to find out what she needs to consult Amelia about. Nice teaser. Hope you enjoy the book.
ReplyDeleteYup, I would continue reading. Nice book cover.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my teaser.
I am assuming this is a cozy, and by the looks of the blood, a mystery. A good beginning, and I would hope to read more to get a feel for the plot. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this one. I want to read it!
ReplyDeleteLove the title, and would certainly like to know what she was researching online. Mine should look familiar to you this week: Mr. Monk Gets on Board
ReplyDeleteCheeky comment to give someone reading the paper. LOL There's never much good news in news.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover, sounds interesting, I would continue.
ReplyDeleteCool cover and an intro that makes me want to read more. enjoy and thanks for joining us this week.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this series before, so I'm definitely curious as to how it may or may not relate to the actual Alcott Family, that would be the deciding factor for me. Hope you are enjoying it though! My Teaser.
