Each Tuesday, Vicki, from I’d Rather Be At The Beach hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros where readers post the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book they are reading or that they plan to read. Here's an except from a book I've been looking forward to. What do you think?
Bookshop of the Broken Hearted; Robert Hillman
G.P. Putnam - 2019
CHAPTER 1
"She didn't stay long as far as marriages go, just a year and ten months. Her note was brief, too:
I'm leaving, Don't know what to say,
Love Trudy
And Tom Hope was left injured in a way that seemed certain to kill him."
I love that beginning! I'd certainly read on!
ReplyDeleteThat was a really good intro!
ReplyDeleteLove the intro! Poor Tom! I'd like to see how his life without Trudy goes.
ReplyDeleteI recently won this book in a contest. It certainly starts with a bang, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSeems sad and mysterious at the same time!
ReplyDeleteLove the title, without even reading the blurb - it sounds like my sort of read - and what a great beginning!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Tuesday Teaser post. Hope you are having a good week x
The intro definitely has me wanting to read on.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I think?
ReplyDeleteI think you need
