This week I'm reading...
First chapter...
"You're doing it wrong," my mother said, as she looked over my shoulder and inspected my work on a Friday afternoon in October. The leaves had started to turn brilliant shades of orange and red and gold,but the temperatures had risen to unseasonably mild.
It was the day before my best friend Joanne Burnham's wedding. Joanne was marrying our local carpenter, Cole West, on the outskirts of town at Divine Inspiration - a charming inn on Inspiration Lake. I was the maid of honor, but my mother and Jo had bonded since the day she'd met her, so of course Jo had invited her to the wedding.
Teaser...
"Okay, folks. Who's ready for a little palm reading?"
No one spoke.
What do you think? Would you continue?
The intro didn't really grab me, but I love the cover art! I'd keep going a bit further.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser/intro for this week: http://justasecondblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/teaser-tuesdaysfirst-chapter-first_22.html
Well, this sounds like it could be fun. I'd read a bit more before deciding.
ReplyDeleteNo words you like to hear from your mother. Happy reading.
ReplyDeletecute cover! like the tease too!
ReplyDeletetrish - my teaser
Ah, an interfering mother. Cuz there aren't enough of those in books. I'm probably being too harsh since I only have one paragraph to go by. I would keep reading as the setting sounds nice and the cover is appealing. My associate Jax is reading this too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cover; I love how the mother's remark sets the scene for annoying happenings, which I can only imagine at this point, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and here's mine: “PRETENDING TO DANCE”
Love stories that involve extended family. Sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. My YA teaser this week comes from What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my mother!
ReplyDeleteMine this week: http://wp.me/pZnGI-pH
I have a book by her from another series that I'm looking forward to reading. This sounds like a pretty fun read though I think her mother would drive me nuts!
ReplyDeleteSign me UP! :O)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm not sure about the mother in this first paragraph. But, I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the teaser!
