First Chapter, First Paragraph is one of the two memes that I will be alternating on Thursdays in place of my Ink & Batter posts during the summer, when I won't be baking due to the heat!
I discovered this meme via the ladies of My Shelf Confessions, and it is hosted on Tuesdays by Bibliophile by the Sea. But since I already have my blog tours posts and Tell Me Tuesdays, I thought that it'd work best on Thursdays for me!
The idea of this meme/feature is quite self-explanatory from its name, we share the first paragraph of the first chapter of our current read! Quite a good teaser for others to read and see if they'd be intrigued!
This week I'm doing a poor job of making progress with my reading but I've just started Linked by Imogen Howson, since it is my Alyssa Recommends book for August!
"As Elissa and her mother entered the waiting room, the sky above Central Canyon City was a chill, predawn gray, the spaceporta colorless blaze on the horizon. Lines and points of light prickled up from the canyon floor far below."
What do you think? Would you want to know more?
What are you reading right now?
:D :D :D :D Hope you're enjoying this one so far!! I'm reading The Bone Season right now, for September :)
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I'm loving the writing and I'm very intrigued about the world building and hoping Elissa will find a way to avoid surgery! Reading more tonight!
DeleteI've had my eye on this one for a while Pili–look at that cover!–so I'm excited to see what you think. I've got high hopes for it:) *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteI had been in love with that cover for a loooong time and Alyssa (The Eater of Books) adding it to her list of "books to push" for me, made me add it as the August book! Pretty intriguing so far!
DeleteSo many pretty descriptive phrases and wordings! I love this little teaser, Pili!
ReplyDeleteThe writing is really lovely, Hafsah! Thanks for visiting the blog!
DeleteI know the reviews haven't been all that, but I really love that cover, it's so alluring, and I'm fiding it hard to resist. I'm looking froward to reading your review.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is really gorgeous and as you said make you want to check out the book, Maja! So far I'm liking it, but not too far into it! Thank you for visiting Maja!
DeleteOh, this sounds great! I really want to read this book just because of the cover. Can't wait to know what you think!
ReplyDeleteIsn't the cover lovely, Lis? I hope I can finish it this weekend!
DeletePedwan gray?? I'm trying to think of what that looks like, but I can't! I have no idea what pedewan is! I don't even have a picture reference in mind. XD

Typo, typo! My mistake!! *blushes* I've just corrected it, Faye! It says "predawn" as in pre-dawn, before the dawn! *facepalm*
DeleteGreat post Pili. <3 thank you for sharing :D I hope you are enjoying this book. <3 But hah. I am not liking that teaser at all :p It describes too much, and I didn't picture it at all, because I'm not sure I have read it before even. Anyway. You are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carina! You are quite very much awesome yourself!
DeleteI wasn't entirely sure of the book at first but I've finished it and love it!
