First Chapter ~ First Paragraph #98

  It's Tuesday . . . time for . . .

                                                      

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea, where bloggers post the first paragraph(s) of a book they are currently reading or planning to read sometime soon.

Today I'm featuring the opening from a book I borrowed from the library . . .

A Murder of Magpies

"Oh, just kill me now!"  I didn't shriek that out loud, just clenched my teeth more tightly.  It was eight thirty, and already the day couldn't get much worse.  I'm always at my desk by eight, not because I'm so wonderful, although I am, but because it's the only time of day when no one asks me anything, when I can actually get on with some work, instead of solving other people's problems.


What do you think?  Would you continue reading?  
 
What are you reading now or planning to read soon?
