Today is Tuesday--- which means I'll be joining up with Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea and her First Chapter, First Paragraph
Tuesday Intros.
Where, bloggers post the first paragraph of a book they are thinking of reading --- and get everyone's opinion to see if it grabbed them from the beginning or not.
My paragraph:
It is dark, dark seven A.M. on Christmas Eve Eve.
Snow flurries fall in the city. Actors walking home from a cast party on Broad Street try to catch them on their tongues. The ingenue lands a flake on her hot cheek and erupts into a fit of laughter. In Fishtown, a nightmare trembles through the nose and paws of a dog snoozing under the construction flats. The Ritten-house Square fountain switches to life with a pronouncement of water while Curtis Hall musicians, late for final rehearsal, arpeggiate through the park.
Should I keep reading?
What do you think?
My book?
I have chosen this for our December read in one of my bookclubs.
What do you think?

Seems Christmas-sy - which I'm not sure I'm read for - but hope it works good for your book group! :-)
This is new to me, but I like it. I agree with Kay - I'd save it for a Christmas read.
I read this a while back and thought it was pretty good. enjoy
It did not grab me right away, but I would keep reading.
