Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.20)

January 20, 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!

My Two Teasers:

“Then my aunt Nina moves in with her to keep her company in the empty house with its sad ballroom. One day when she picks up the mail, Nadia sees Matei’s handwriting on a crumpled, yellow postcard.“
~ p.55, “Train to Trieste” by Domnica Radulescu

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

    Yep, I agree your Teaser sounds a bit sad, though I’m sure there is more too it, perhaps a good story!

    I have a vintage teaser today, courtesy of a book I found in an old antique shop this weekend titled “Don’t Blame The Mirror.” (This post includes a pic of women who’ve embroidered ‘The End’ on the bum of their dresses! Can you really pass on that?)
