This week I'm reading...
A young woman with carrot red hair stormed into Amelia's office. She had a smattering of freckles across her nose and her lips were pressed together in an angry line.
"They want to close down the orphanage and ruin everything Uncle Dell has worked for," exclaimed the girl. "So where will they put the orphans? Out on the streets again?" She furrowed her brow as she pounded the desk with her fist. "We can't let that happen."
So what do you think? Would you continue reading?
Sounds like someone isn't a very happy camper. Enjoy! My teaser
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd continue reading. I'd like to find out if they save the orphanage and who is the missing heir.
ReplyDeleteHere is my tease - http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/09/09/teaser-tuesdays-80-unbroken-ties-by-m-latimer-ridley/
I am curious to know what happens. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to read a little more before deciding if I'd stick with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like a character that wants to right the wrongs of the world...sounds like a good story! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “THEN AND ALWAYS”
ReplyDeleteI would keep reading! I'd want to know what happens to the orphanage too; hope you enjoy your read!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:
The Book Thief | Markus Zusak
That opening really gets right into the story, doesn't it? You know the problem and you meet the person who hopes to make things right. I'd keep reading to find out if she succeeds.
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to my Tuesday post: Retirement Can Be Murder.
I like this one. The title is interesting too.
ReplyDeleteI want to know what will happen to the orphans too!
ReplyDeleteHow can I resist a new detective series and a character with carrot red hair and a smattering of freckles? Yes, I'd pick this one up too.
ReplyDeleteMakes you want to read more.
