Teaser Tuesdays – January 20

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:56:21 +0000

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!

This is a teaser as much for me because I haven’t got this far in the book yet. :)

“It crossed Vera’s mind that some of her compatriots might have been less circumspect about the safety of others. Moff, for example, that so-called bamboo grower, had been a bit too keen to see the open markets where drug dealing was done.” p. 177, Saving Fish From Drowning, Amy Tan.

Teaser Tuesdays – December 30th edition

I’m taking a break from fiction for a couple of days so that whatever I start next will count toward a challenge or three for the new year. So, in the spirit of new year’s resolutions, and for everyone who wants to lose weight next year (including me), I offer the following teasers…

“Waiting to do things until you get thin is a waste of perfectly good living time. Start now. Allow yourself to look and feel great exactly as you are and your weight will become whatever it’s supposed to be.” Embracing Your Big Fat Ass – Laura Banks and Janette Barber, p. 117

Teaser Tuesdays – December 16th

My two teasers…

“I feel like a character in an episode of The Twilight Zone: something terrible happened, but somehow time has stopped and been rewound till before the terrible thing happened. The twins have resumed their snooty poses at the island, Jessy is back at the cash register, and Dexter has forgotten what the oafish man with the Chia Pet hair made me say about him.” p.115, Twelve Trees, J.D. Carpenter

Teaser Tuesdays – December 9th

My two teasers…

“I don’t know about you, Mr. Golani, but I get nervous when young minds are trained to hate. The inevitable comparisons to another time and place are uncomfortable to say the least.” p.92, Moscow Rules, Daniel Silva.
