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 comes from After the Fog by Kathleen Shoop. I read Kathleen's debut novel last year and I really liked it, so when offered the chance to read her next book I had to say YES !!
Tuesday, October 26th, 1948
Donota, Pennsylvania
Inside the Greshecky home, Rose pressed the light switch but knew it wouldn't work. Ian appeared, his form outlined by the paltry light slipping through a gap in the wood siding. Even in darkness his complexion--white as the smoky plumes billowing from the zinc mill--told Rose things were not well with his Aunt. He opened his mouth, but Rose grasped his shoulders and shoved the twelve-year-old toward the kitchen before Ian could form a single word.
Would you continue reading this one
based on the opening paragraph?
I would keep reading as I'm very curious what they don't want to young boy to hear. Hope you like this one as much as the debut novel Staci.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read more purely on the assumption that something intriguing is going to happen! I said almost the identical thing on Diane's blog for her meme.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah... I would want to keep reading! Can't wait to read your full review on this one!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly sounds like a mystery. Makes you want to keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued!

I would keep reading but would I have picked it up in the first place? I hate the cover! :--)
ReplyDeleteOh, you've hooked me! I've been noticing this book around...so, of course, onto the wish list!
ReplyDeleteI need to find out what happens next. Good thing I have this next up on my Nook. And isn't the cover gorgeous?
ReplyDeleteFrom that paragraph..no
ReplyDeleteInteresting--I like the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI would have to keep reading to decide.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to wait til you tell me if I should continue reading this ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll be reading this one too so we can talk about it when we're done! Isn't that cover gorgeous - I love it.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded this one on to my Kindle and can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI think I would want to keep reading this one!
