she decided to read based on the opening paragraph (s).
Feel free to grab the banner and play along
My Tuesday Intro pick is Wendy Wax's newest release, While We Were Watching Downton Abbey. Having loved her previous books and acknowledging my addiction to all things Downton, I knew that I had to read this one!! Hope it's great!!

As a child Samantha jackson Davis loved fairy tales as much as the next girl. She just hadn't expected to end up in one. Every morning when her eyes fluttered open and every night before she closed them to go to sleep, Samantha marveled at her good fortune.
Would you continue reading this one
based on the opening paragraph?
I'm curious for more:) Hope it's a good one and thanks for joining in again Staci.
ReplyDeleteSounds and look interesting. I'd read on...

Probably not :( As I think I am the only human left on the planet that has not seen that show ... so I probably wouldn't get the references! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThis one is definitely on my list, as I too love all things Downton. I read an excerpt of this book on the author's website a month ago and liked it. Hope you enjoy it! Here's my Tuesday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2013/03/first-chapter-first-paragraph-tuesday_12.html
