First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros


Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where I share the first paragraph or (2) of a book I am reading or thinking about reading soon.  Care to join us? Feel free to grab the image and link your post below.

This week I'm featuring an intro from a book I hope to start sometime this week

(Harper Collins January-2013)


 (Prologue)

"Eugene Doyle Born 19 June 1972. Died 17 December 2010, aged thirty-eight.

Isabel Ann MacDonald. Born 24 May 1974. Died 18 December 2010, aged thirty-six.

Today is Christmas Eve. Today is my birthday. Today I am fifteen. Today I buried my parents in the backyard.

Neither of them were beloved."


What do you think? Would you keep reading or move on to something else? Want to join in?

    This paragraph is chilling, I would definitely read on.

    I came across the idea for 'First Chapter Tuesday' on your blog. It's an interesting idea, so I am going to join in too.

    I got this one for my birthday, and was so pleased! Now I need to figure out when I am going to have the time to read it. I think I will have to stop watching TV altogether!
