First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros/Teaser Tuesdays - October 5th



It's Tuesday!  It's time to share your excerpts and teasers from books we are currently reading, have read or are planning to read.  So, feel free to join us by sharing the first paragraph or (a few) of a book you are reading or thinking about reading soon.  This meme is guaranteed to increase your TBR :)



Please link your blog post using Mr. Linky below. Make sure the link you enter is the direct link to your Tuesday post, not the main link to your blog. Thank you!



I, also, participate and link up to Teaser Tuesdays.  Here's info about that meme:

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, now being hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. 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!



I'm going to be starting this one soon. The excerpts are from the E-ARC...





First Chapter... 

The rain is drumming a beat on the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a rhythm for the awkward dance I've been performing for the past twenty minutes:  glance down at watch on wrist, grimace, flash a brief, discomfited smile at the sales assistant before uttering the words 'she'll be here any minute now' with so much false cheer I could be auditioning for the role of a children's TV presenter, then stare out of the rain-splattered window until it's time for the loop to begin again.

Teaser...

Planning a wedding is stressful enough - and especially during the run-up to Christmas - without adding directing a school production to top.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

What if you could go back in time and fix the biggest mistake of your life?

Two years ago, Maisie’s best friend walked out of her life and she hasn’t heard from him since. When she wakes up in 1994, she naturally assumes she’s dreaming. But when she finds herself in the past again the next night and her actions in the dream alter her present-day life, she begins to wonder if she’s somehow hopping back in time. And if she is time-travelling, can she save her friendship with Jonas?

When Maisie is forced to relive Christmases of the past, will she face up to her mistakes, or make them all over again?

The 12 Christmases of You & Me is a magical tale of friendship, first loves, and learning to live in the present.



What do you think? Would you keep reading?
