First Chapter Tuesday/Teaser Tuesday - March 26th

Labels: ,

Every Tuesday Vicki at I'd Rather Be At the Beach 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?



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, now being hosted by Ambrosia at The Purple Booker. 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'm reading this one now...







First Chapter... .
Red and yellow flames belched from propane burners, inflating the hot-air balloon to heroic proportions and propelling it skyward.  High above the grassy flats of Charleston's Hampton Park, the balloon joined a half dozen others as they bumped along on gentle currents, looking like a supersized drift of colorful soap bubbles.


Teaser...

"What a catastrophe!" Drayton cried out.  "Will anyone survive?"


What do you think? Would you keep reading?

    Not my kind of read. When I read fiction, I have to have a cat in it. :)
