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'll soon be reading this one...
First chapter
"Hey, I'm not afraid to say it. The irritating broad deserved to die."
The contentious words came from the second level of Pettisone's Fine Books, drifting down the staircase to the main floor where owner Darla Pettistone was working the cash register. Despite being used to overhearing declarations like this, the venom in these particular words made her pause.
Teaser
"You women are all alike, ganging up on men just to do some sort of female solidarity thing. You won't even admit I might possibly be right."
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
Love cozies -- and the title of this is great. Good opener and teaser. I bet this is a fun read.
ReplyDeleteI love the title and intro - enjoy Yvonne.
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun and interesting cozy! Love the title!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Teaser for this week: http://justasecondblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/teaser-tuesdays-regency-buck.html
This sounds fun, I would like to read on, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI think some badness will be coming down those stairs.

Love the cover and that first sentence is an attention grabber. I hope you like the book.
ReplyDeleteWell that certainly leaves me with a lot of questions! My teaser is from a non-fiction work: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-10B
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I love the sound of this one! Who doesn't love a story set in a bookstore...and overheard declarations? Those snippets ratchet things up a bit, don't they?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and here's mine: “ICE COLD”
LOL. When I read the cover, I mistakenly saw "friends" instead of "fiends!" Regardless, this sounds like a fun cozy that I'd enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features Emma Knows All.
Haha! Love the title--the play on words. I have never played Words With Friends, but I'm familiar with the game. I like the intro you shared quite a bit--that and the teaser fit the title well, actually. :-)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! That teaser is funny. Hope you're enjoying the book. :)

I have the first one in the series but haven't started it yet. It looks like a great series!
ReplyDeleteI would keep reading. I love the title and cover, too. The teaser on my adult blog comes from The Bad Boy CEO by Sugar Jamison. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good cozy mystery. I might have to look for it later this winter. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteOh, I like both the intro and teaser!
ReplyDeleteI like it. Sounds like a great cozy with a bit of snark. I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds good - I like a sentence delivered with venom!
ReplyDeleteLove mysteries and set in a bookshop is even better!
