First Chapter, First Paragraph, Tuesday Intros - May 16th



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!



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!



This one is on my list to read in May.  I'm hoping to get to it soon.



First Chapter

Snowflakes settle on the mirror outside my passenger-side window.  Normally I would marvel at their unblemished sparkle or muse over their uniqueness.  Now I glare at the offensive flakes as if I could melt them with the sheer force of my concentration.  

Teaser...

Despite a couple snafus in the form of dead bodies, I've somehow managed to establish my business as a premier winery in Boulder.  In large part thanks to a rave review from a popular food-and-wine blogger and a fruitful fall harvest.

Synopsis from Goodreads:

A Valentine's Day getaway is on the rocks when a young winemaker discovers a body at an alpine resort in this delightful cozy mystery.

When Parker Valentine decides to take a weekend getaway with her boyfriend Reid, a ski trip seems like the perfect choice. Between hitting the slopes and persuading the resort's wine director to sell her mulled wine, Parker is eager to mix business with pleasure. But her plans are muddled when she finds the resort owner's body on a treacherous portion of ski trail near the resort.

As a result, not only is Parker's romantic weekend thrown into chaos, but now that the owner has died, her business deal is due for a frosty reception, and her life might be in danger as well. After a series of unfortunate mishaps befall Parker, she realizes that whoever killed the resort owner might want to tie up loose ends. Parker's going to need all of the investigative skills at her disposal to catch a killer before they put her on ice.


What do you think? Would you keep reading?

  1. I’d definitely keep reading! I’ll add this to my winter TBR for next year. (I don’t like reading about snow when it’s about to be summer 😆)
