Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros where I share the first paragraph sometimes two from a book I am reading or thinking about reading soon. (I received this copy for review recently and really like the sound of it).
It's. Nice. Outside - Jim Kokoris
St. Martin's Press - 2015
(Intro)
What do you think -- keep reading or pass?
(Feel free to join in this week by posting your intro below?
I am definitely curious now...I am wondering why the father is so miffed about caring for the baby alone? I would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteMe too Laurel - He seems like a jerk from the intro.
DeleteThe prologue and cover are enticing, so I would read more.
ReplyDeleteGlad u liked the intro Catherine.
DeleteThe cover caught my attention first. I like the mystery created in that first paragraph such as - who is Mary and what's wrong with the baby? I'd keep reading.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cover and title! That alone would make me curious about this book. The intro though has me interested to. I definitely want to know what's going on. I hope everything is okay, but somehow I don't think it will be that easy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be starting this one this evening I hope.
DeleteSounds like there's something seriously wrong with the baby since he has to have tests at the hospital. I already dislike the dad because he's angry and resentful when he should be focused on what's going on with his child. I'd keep reading to find out what's going on.
ReplyDeleteI dislike the dad too from this intro alone.
Delete.Oh dear that is a worrying opening! I want to know more now - love the cover too
ReplyDeleteGlad u liked the intro Lisa.
DeleteOoooh, I'm definitely interested to find out what happens, Sandra! I've not heard of this one, but I'm going to have to check it out now; thanks for sharing this and for hosting the link up!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Tara - glad u liked the intro.
DeleteI'm curious to find out what's wrong and what the relationships are among the characters already introduced.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious as well - seems different from what I've read lately.
DeleteLove the cover! The intro has made me curious, but I'd need to read more before committing to this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious - 2 reviews I read were glowing.
DeleteI'd definitely keep reading. The cover alone has my interest.
ReplyDeleteThe cover sure is different.
DeleteI'm interested to know what he has to do and why he's so mad...though I have to say the cover wouldn't make me want to pick it up. Emma
ReplyDeleteEmma, i'm curious why he seems so mad instead of concerned.
DeleteThat's a good opening. Girl Who Reads
ReplyDeleteGlad u liked the intro.
DeleteThe cover caught my eye...now though I need to know what is the problem. What results are they waiting for? Will it be very sad or hopeful? I'd continue.
ReplyDeleteJudy, haven't started this one yet, but hope to tonight.
DeleteI'm not sure about this one. I'd read more to find out, though! Sorry I messed up my link in Mr. Linky!
ReplyDeleteYou did fine Monica - no worries.
DeleteYep! I'd keep reading. I'd have to find out what was going on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he's just scared and it's a coping mechanism, I will find out soon, I hope.
DeleteYes, I'd read on, it sounds pretty interesting!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is Brian.
DeleteDefinitely a book that I'd have to read a bit more of before I decided
ReplyDeleteChippy
The reviews seem good so far.
DeleteNot sure about this one. Would like to read the book description first.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be a good one.
DeleteHa, ha. Is that a man trying to cope?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what's up with him.
DeleteI am interested to know what is going on and how the cover may tie into the story.
ReplyDeleteI hope to start it tomorrow as today just got away from me:)
ReplyDeleteMe too Vicki.
