Teasuer Tuesdays (Jan.27)

January 27, 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:

“The interior reeked of dog, mildew, and something else–something familiar and disgusting. Maddy sniffed once and again, resisting the urge to put her hand over her nose.“
~ p.51, “The Other Boy” by Hailey Abbott

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

    See, the great thing about this meme is I can do it ahead of time and then just remember to come and say that mine is here.

    P.S., your two lines are pretty gross, I must say.
