Opening a book well is the best way to hook a reader (Blog post 15)

Hello everyone! How is your reading going? Did any of you pick up a new book this week? You see, last week I finished a great book by Hannah Tinti called "The Good Thief" and although it was pretty good I am glad to have started reading a new one. The book I have started this week is called "Firefly Lane" by Kristin Hannah.

Now let me say one thing before I begin; THIS BOOK IS ADDICTING.

Not only is it well written with a tasteful story and interesting characters, the author knows how to hook you right at the beginning of the book and make you hungry to read more.

Want proof? Here is some proof for you;

"She took the phone off its hook and left the bedroom, walking down the quiet hallway toward the deck. There, she stared out at the storm and gathered her courage. As she punched in the familiar numbers, she wondered what she would say to her once-best friend after all these silent months, how she would start. I've had a bad week... my life is falling apart... or simply: I need you. Across the black and turbulent Sound, the phone rang." (Hannah, 2)

If that doesn't pull you in or make you want to read more I don't know what will.

Even though I haven't read the whole book yet, I am so excited to read it and I am really enjoying it so far. Keep on reading!
