Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where I share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book I am reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?
This week I'm featuring an intro from a book that will be released this month:
Pamela Dorman Books - May 28th, 2013
"Some people run toward life, arms flung wide in anticipation. Others crack open the door and take a one-eyed peek to see what's out there. Then there are those who give up on life long before their heart stops beating--all used up, worn out, and caved in, yet they wake each morning an shuffle their tired legs through another day. Maybe they're hoping for a change --a miracle, even --but runaway dreams and lost years hang heavily on their backs. It's the only coat they know how to wear."
What do you think? Would you keep reading or move on to something else? - I liked the intro a lot and the first 50 pages have breezed by for me, and looking forward to reading more.
