First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros/Teaser Tuesdays - July 21st

It's Tuesday!  It's time to share your excerpts and teasers from books we are currently reading, have read or are planning to read.  So, feel free to join us by sharing the first paragraph or (a few) of a book you are reading or thinking about reading soon.  This meme is guaranteed to increase your TBR :)





Please link your blog post using Mr. Linky below. Make sure the link you enter is the direct link to your Tuesday post, not the main link to your blog. Thank you!





I, also, participate and link up to Teaser Tuesdays.  Here's info about that meme:

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 already featured this one on Friday, but since I'm still reading it, I thought I would post more teasers from it. The excerpts are from the E-ARC...

First Chapter... 

"I should have married money," Ellen Fox said glumly. "That would have solved all my problems."

Unity Leandre, her best friend, practically since birth, raised her eyebrows. "Because that was an option so many times and you kept saying no?"

"It could have been.  Maybe.  If I'd ever, you know, met a rich guy I liked and wanted to marry."

"Wouldn't having him want to marry you be an equally important part of the equation?"


Teaser...

It was how she'd been raised, she thought.  To be practical, to take responsibility.  If only her parents had thought to mention marrying for money.

What do you think? Would you keep reading?
