First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Intros


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 a review book titled, "Irish Lady." I chose to read this one because it takes place in Ireland and it has the magical element of blending the past with the present...let's hope it is a good read!



   Four centuries had passed and yet I had not forgotten the smell of charred wood nor the searing heat of a fire bent on destruction. I opened my eyes and saw the leap of flame against shadow, gutted dwellings, the silhouette of a church steeple outlined against an orange sky--an entire world engulfed in fire.

Would you continue reading this one
 based on the opening paragraph?

  1. Tough call - I love the cover and the title but it sounds like one of those weird (to me) undead books. I think I might give it a few more paragraphs.

  3. The intro really draws me in, and I'm curious about the fire. The cover is also very pretty.

  9. I'm not sure about this one. It's not grabbing me right off the bat. I like the cover and the summary, so I'd probably read little bit more.

  10. Not sure about this one although I probably wouldn't have picked it up just based on the cover cause it reminds me of a romancey type book.
