This week, I'm reading...
Seated on a rolled carpet, Abby Soares stared at the bare walls like a new patient at the asylum. Once a friendly forest green, the paint was now dingy and faded - except where family pictures had recently been removed. She shook her head. "What a mess," she muttered. The words traveled through the empty room and echoed down the hall. It was the loneliest, most sorrowful sound. She stood and dusted off her backside. As she reached the door, she looked back once. "Good-bye," she pushed past the lump in her throat. There was silence.
What do you think? Would you continue reading?
A friend of mine just read this book. She gave it a good review. Will need to look more into it.

ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to read a bit more to be sure, but it sound like it has potential.
ReplyDeleteIt got my interest, would like to read more. Off to check out the reviews on this one.
ReplyDeleteThis intro really hit home since it reminded me of when we moved from what was sort of my childhood home. It was really strange looking at the empty rooms and knowing you'd never see them again! Thanks for sharing :)
