Tuesday Intro/Teaser



First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros is a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea every Tuesday. To participate share the opening paragraph or two of a book you've decided to read based on that paragraph. Please feel free to join in, First Chapter~First Paragraph~Tuesday Intros.


"When my cell phone rang, I'd just finished cutting up my marriage mattress. I put down my chain saw carefully so it wouldn't scratch the hardwood floor. Then I slid my safety glasses up to the top of my head like a headband and reached for the phone. 
'Hello', I said. 
'Hey', BJ said. 'It's me. What's up?' 
I puffed up a sprinkling of sawdust from the phone. 'Not much. Same old, same old.'
'So, check your email - the invitation just went out. You are coming up for the reunion, right?'
'No way'.  When I shook my head for emphasis, more sawdust flaked from my hair like dandruff."

Time Flies by Claire Cook

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of  Should Be Reading.

I adore these kinds of outrageous reactions to something...usually a bad relationship.

And I'm a fan of Claire Cook. Love the opener...and thanks for visiting my blog.
