Hookers & Hangers blogfest-HOOKERS

YAY!!! Today is the first day of our Hookers and Hangers Blogfest!! 


SOO looking forward to reading all the great one liners. So today we are supposed to post the first line of each chapter. We can post as many as we want, but the FFF girls will only be judging on the first 3.

So here goes. This is from my collab project with Kelley Lynn, ALREADY THERE. I am going to do my character Charlie's chapters. I'm not sure which books she's doing.

Chapter 1:
Blah, blah, blah just about explains our day.


Chapter 3:
Nan and Pops wake up with the freakin’ roosters. 


Chapter 5:
Dinner smells like Christmas.


Chapter 7:
My heart verges on exploding from part exhilaration, part holy-crap-I’m-scared. 


Chapter 9:
Damn rooster.


Okay, I did more than 3 but I'm can't win and my lines are short. Haha. So what do you think? Do any of them Hook you and make you want to read more?


Now, go check out all the other entries. This is going to be epic!! And don't forget to come back and read all the hangers on July 18th.
