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...
Funny where your mind goes when you're staring into the face of mortal danger. The night I stepped through Gertie Tyroo's dark back door, uninvited and all alone, my mind conjured up an old movie, starring me as the classic damsel in distress - fragile, frazzled, and befuddled, desperate for a white knight to gallop in on horseback and rescue me.
Crystal Cropper, I thought, revolted by the helpless self-image, you are pathetic! You don't need a white knight. You're your own white knight. Now get on with it. And get on with it I did. Without further hesitation, I drew a deep breath and called out, "Gertie! It's me Crystal. You okay?" That's when the living room light went out, somebody screamed, and all hell broke loose.
What do you think? Would you continue reading?
I like that intro and I'm guessing this will be a fun read as well --enjoy
