Teaser Tuesdays/First Chapter Tuesdays - February 24th


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!

I just started reading...




First chapter...

Some people are practically born knowing what they want to do with their lives. People like my older brother, who had his life plan scrawled out on a piece of paper by age seven, are the kind of folks who move from one goal to another, ticking things off their lists and achieving Big Things.



Teaser...

Cats, I told myself, cannot foretell the future. This is going to be fine.



What do you think? Would you keep reading/

    Interesting teases. Sounds like there is going to be something happening and it won't be good. I can relate to lists. :-)

    I'm sure that is exactly how my youngest feels about her sister who has had her life mapped out since 10th grade. I'm not so sure about the cats though...Thanks for sharing! Here is my TT: http://www.readinggrrl.com/2015/02/teaser-tuesday_24.html#comment-form

    I like the opening and especially the teaser. I think some might think that about me, actually.

    I like the beginning. Unfortunately, I was not one of those lucky ones who knew what they wanted. I still don't. LOL
    And I think she should heed the cats!

    Looks like a fun cozy.
