Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.6)

January 6, 2009

teasertuesdays2TEASER 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!

    • dreamhomes_zonanaMy Two Teasers:

    “When she sat or stood or walked or swam, she seemed always to be utterly poised, utterly comfortable within her burnished, smooth skin. And although I was conscious even as a child that at every moment she was posing, arranging herself for an audience’s admiration, she was so thoroughly in command of her art that I was always taken in, dazzled.”
    ~ p.117, “Dream Homes: A Memoir” by Joyce Zonana

    PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 teasers in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! D

      Wow – I love the sound of that book. Am always looking for a good memoir so will certainly check that out. Here is my second Teaser installment from Edgar Sawtelle…

      You have intrigued me. I love memoirs so maybe I will just have to investigate this book further.

      Sounds like a great book!

      Mine comes from Peter and the Shadow Thieves, a young adult book I was previewing for my class – it’s a keeper!

      Great teaser there. I love how the author uses the word “arranged” to convey her appearance.

      Since my blog is a recipe blog, and the book I’m currently reading is about writing, I’ll leave my teaser here:

      “I have had students who could neither give nor take criticism, without getting fiery red in the face and rough in the voice — so sensitive to pesonal slight that they could neither take it themselves nor dish it out, without a heavy component of hostility. Untreated, that disease can be fatal; even treated, it is uncomfortable.” from On Teaching and Writing Fiction by Wallace Stegner, p. 60
