First Chapter Tuesdays/Teaser Tuesdays - October 6th


Every Tuesday Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?

If you'd like to play along on Teaser Tuesdays, just click the button above.


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

* Grab your current read
* Open to a random page
* Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


This week I'm reading...



First Chapter...

There was a severed head on the blue patterned quilt folded at the bottom of the bed. I turned my head slowly and looked into the eyes of a killer. He stared unblinkingly at me. It would have been terrifying if the head hadn't been from a yellow catnip Fred the Funky Chicken and the eyes hadn't belonged to my little black-and-white cat, Hercules.

"What did you do?" I asked, frowning at him.

Teaser...


The basement door was open a crack, I had no idea why he liked to prowl around down there, but I suspected what he was doing was napping in the laundry basket.


What do you think? Would you keep reading?

    The first line of the first chapter threw me for a sec, until I read the rest. LOL

  6. The title, the cover, the first paragraph are all very cute. Maybe a little too cute for me, but I do hope you enjoy it.

  7. I like the opening you shared quite a bit, Yvonne. My cats have fortunately not brought me any "gifts" like that, although I wouldn't put it past Gracie.
