This week, I'm reading...
March
This Monday in March, an ordinary day for most people, was the happiest day of Coleman Greene's life.
Everyone she liked best had gathered to celebrate with her. Long before she bought ArtSmart, her first magazine, she'd dreamed of owning a family of publications - perhaps ten, or even more. Today, with the acquisition of First Home, she - Coleman Greene, thirty-three years old, with financial help from her brother - was a step closer to making that dream come true. In the five years she'd owned ArtSmart, she'd changed it from a dowdy flop into the most successful art magazine in New York. She'd do even better with First Home. And then onto the next one.
What do you think? Would you continue reading?
Eh...not sure on that one. I'd need to know more about it. I've been reading some slightly older cozies lately -- My teaser: A Parfait Murder
ReplyDeleteI like it! I usually like ambitious girl stories. Hope the rest is as good as the beginning.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that's a different kind of beginning. I guess I'll have to read a bit more to see if it's my kind of book.
ReplyDeleteMy TT
Because it involves the publishing world, I'd likely keep going.
ReplyDeleteI;d read more, but I think I'd try this one.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would continue reading.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts: We should all go after our dreams.
My TT is here:

Sounds interesting. Hope she isn't "biting off more than she can chew", to quote my mother. I will wait to see what you think before I continue.
ReplyDeleteI like the intro and the cover, so I'd keep reading.

No too sure about this one. It hasn't really caught my interest. I hope you enjoy it though!
ReplyDeleteToday I’m featuring Losing Touch by Sandra Hunter.
Was curious about the "Fatal" in the title and looked it up. I'm always game to try a new mystery series. My TTs are usually mysteries, but this week it is non-fiction: Letters from Africa 1914 – 1931 by Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) at http://wp.me/pZnGI-9x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would be an interesting read, Yvonne! I hope you are enjoying it. I'd keep reading. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe has what I would love to have as my future! Although I don't know a lot about magazine editing and publishing I'd love to work in the industry although it takes a lot of determination! I hope you enjoy the rest of this one :) Thank for sharing!My Intro
ReplyDeleteJuli @ Universe in Words
Well, it talks about a woman controlling magazine publications which is always an interestng topic. I would keep reading..Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of this one...I adore magazines, and my home is full of them, so you can tell! I'll be watching for your review.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “BIG LITTLE LIES”
sounds like she's off to a successful career. I think the book sounds good, I hope you enjoy it and have a great day. Kelley at the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteOoh, I definitely would keep reading

Sounds like she is getting everything she wants, but I am sure the price to be paid is coming... I just wonder what it is. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteSounds good, I would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep reading, but I'm curious ... what genre is it? The title makes me think it's a murder mystery, but the opening makes me think it's women's fiction.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser Tuesday excerpt is from HEARTS IN RUIN.
It's definitely a murder mystery.
DeleteI would probably keep going. I like that she's a woman who owns multiple businesses and is successful. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT!
I'm not sure it is really my type of read. I hope you are enjoying it. Here is my TT http://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/teaser-tuesday-july-15/
