Today I am participating for the first time in First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, a weekly meme hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea. The idea is to share the first paragraph or two of a book I am currently reading or planning to read sometime soon.
This week I'm featuring the first paragraphs of Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, a book I received from the publisher that I'm looking forward to reading soon-ish. This is the follow up novel to the highly popular The Last Letter from Your Lover, which I enjoyed.
Published by Pamela Dorman Books/Viking, December 2012
Prologue
2007
"When he emerges from the bathroom she is awake, propped up against the pillows and flicking through the travel brochures that were beside his bed. She is wearing one of his T-shirts, and her long hair is tousled in a way that prompts reflexive thoughts of the previous night. He stands there, enjoying the brief flashback, rubbing the water from his hair with a towel.
She looks up from a brochure and pouts. She is probably slightly too old to pout, but they've been going out a short enough time for it still to be cute."
What do you think? Would you keep reading? I'm in--just need to figure out when.
Enjoy life with books . . .
