Every Tuesday I host First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros sharing the first paragraph, maybe two, of a book that I'm reading or plan to read soon.
Small Blessings; Martha Woodroof

Part One
Chapter 1
"There she was, as welcome in this insular community as fresh air in a multiplex, a woman who, rumor had it, risked being happy. Tom had heard the most about her from Russell Jacobs, his colleague in the English Department, and now he was looking at her in the flesh, at this tall, slender, dark-haired creature, oddly stylish in her ill-fitting, baggy trousers and white Tee-shirt."
Based on that intro, would you read more or pass? Feel free to join us by posting your own INTRO and linking below.
I'm curious about the woman described--who is she and how does she fit into the story about to unfold?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this book, Diane...hope you are loving it.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny that this little description of this woman would make me want to know more about her. I'd like to read this book.
ReplyDeleteThat risked being happy phrase definitely makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteI like this. There isn't a lot to go on, which makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteIt somehow draws you in
ReplyDeleteI think I would read more! Much much more!
ReplyDeleteI'd read on - it sounds as though she'll be having problems fitting in.
ReplyDeleteMasterful first paragraph. Of course we want to find out about this woman!
ReplyDeleteThat was good and I would read on!
ReplyDeleteYes - the opening does draw me in. Wondering what will happen next, etc. Not as much of a fan of the cover, but ya know what they say about that! :)
