Teaser Tuesdays/First Chapter Tuesdays - September 30th


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...


So this was Destiny.

I'd anticipated that the town I now cruised in my car would look like this, but even so the pictures I'd seen hadn't done it justice. It was a quaint locale, filled with a myriad of people who appeared to be tourists. They strolled along sidewalks in front of rows of stores, most of which were built in the ornate styles of California Gold rush days.

Stores with names like Knock-on-Wood Furniture and the Falling Star Gallery would have shouted this town's theme to me if I hadn't already know it.


What do you think? Would you continue reading?

  2. Sounds like she's rolling into town- but to stay, or just to visit? Looks like a good one.

  13. I like in Northern California where the Gold Rush actually took place, and I have to say, I do enjoy visiting those antique stores that still have names like "Knock on Wood Furniture" Great teaser!
