Every Tuesday, Diane @ Bibliophile by the Sea
posts the opening paragraph (maybe two) of a book
she decided to read based on the opening paragraph (s).
Feel free to grab the banner and play along!
My selection this week is from The Snow Child , a book that I've seen around the blogosphere and was instantly intrigued by the blogger's reviews!!!
Wolverine River, Alaska, 1920
Mabel had known there would be silence. That was the point, after all. No infants coing or wailing. No neighbor children playfully hollering down the lane. No pad of small feet on wooden stairs worn smooth by generations, or clackety-clack of toys along the kitchen floor. All those sounds of her failure and regret would be left behind, and in their place there would be silence.
Would you continue reading this one
based on the opening paragraph?
Oh YES! that one grabs me and as soon as I have time to prioritize my 600+ unread books, I hope to get to it ...LOL (Do you have that problem)?

I would!!! Sounds interesting!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would! In fact, I just grabbed my copy and set it out for my next read! :--)
ReplyDeleteI would. In fact I did, I absolutely loved the book, and I am quite sure you will too.
ReplyDeleteI have to pick this off my shelf and get reading. Yes, I would read on. Why the silence...?
ReplyDeleteI have been wondering about this book too
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'd keep going. I want to know what is driving this person to be totally free of children.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one and know you will too!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely keep reading. Im going to make time in the next few weeks and read my copy!
ReplyDeleteBeing the solitary and introverted person that I am, I love this first paragraph! I have this book on my list and hope to get to it soon.
ReplyDeleteThe reviews have me intrigued, too. I'd keep reading!
ReplyDeleteI am reading this one too right now. Loving it so far...
ReplyDeleteSounds quite melancholy but I've seen so many awesome reviews I'd have to read on :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I've read a few reviews and definitely want to read this one.
