Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teasers:
“When it comes right down to it, the source of much of life’s craziness is clutter. Clutter in our minds, in our homes, and in our finances. Think of all the energy and effort you expend each day just dealing with clutter. Think about the emotional stress and strain it causes you. Just like bacon grease poured down the kitchen drain, clutter gunks up the works and keeps life from working well.”
~ p.14, “From Clutter to Clarity” by Nancy Twigg
((yes, that’s more than 2 sentences — I’m breaking my own rules today! LOL. But I had to share the whole paragraph so that none of the meaning was lost.))
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!

That is so true! Nothing gets me crazier than clutter.
Thank you for hosting this fun weekly meme.
My Teaser.
I really like your teaser! Though I don’t want to think about chunky bacon grease when I think of clutter! Gross!
Here is my teaser this week
This is my first trip over to your blog and I am so glad to find it and participate. I love to read ! I’m heading off to do my Teaser Tuesday now !
we had a serious house fire a couple of years ago and with the exception of 2 itmes; the family Shakespeare – inscribed by my great granfather, rice paper, gilt edges – & my engagement ring, the only thing we lost was clutter…it was liberating!
i recomend de-cluttering (just not by setting fire to your house!)
my teaser is here
Oh yes, decluttering is a worthy activity! Inside and out. I find that when I declutter my physical surroundings, my inner self feels less cluttered too. Have fun!
My teaser is here.
Ouch! That sounds like it’s aimed right at me! But I really am trying to declutter my life as much as possible. Well, except for all those books piled everywhere, of course!
My teasers are here.
Clutter…bother! Yes, I can relate to that. The work I need to do in my basement!
My Teaser is at http:www.bookbirddog.blogspot.com
Oh dear – I thrive on clutter – but it has to be clean clutter LOL!!!
My teasers are up
I hate clutter! My teaser is up here:

I would like to live with less clutter, but I have 3 other family members in this house who seem to thrive in the clutter.
Here’s my post.
What’s wrong with clutter?

Happy Tuesday. My teaser is here.
I have to admit I’m a bit of a anti-clutter fanatic as well!
I’m back after several weeks of busy life getting in the way …. here’s my post.
But I like my clutter….clutter is good
My Tuesday Teaser is here
Here is my teaser for this week. It is from the same book as last week.

clutter is horrible…I was ruthless this weekend and cleaned out my closet and bedroom. I feel a lot better!!!
Here’s mine:

Here are my Tuesday Teases
Well, I think that’s a GREAT teaser, more than two sentences or not! LoL…I’m in de-clutter mode myself, so I might have to add this one to my wanna-read list….
Anyway, my teaser is here (mine’s three sentences, too, if that makes you feel any better!)
Happy Reading, everybody!
Excellent teaser – I’ve read that book and liked it. I am a clutter hater, personally. I’ve had people tell me my house is too Spartan. LOL I happen to think it’s because too many people are using to seeing “stuff” on EVERY surface of a person’s home. I’d rather have less to dust.
Here’s my teaser:
http://meloniek.blogspot.com/2009/04/teaser-tuesday-little-heathens.html
And I’ve got another giveaway going too!
Loved your teaser – I know how aggravated I can get when I feel the house is getting too cluttered! The rest of my family seems oblivious to it!
Here is my Teaser.
Here’s my teaser.
That sounds like a book that I need to read! My teaser is here.
Great teaser – worryingly true! Here’s mine.
Thanks for the great meme Miz B! My Teaser Tuesday is here: http://readingwritingranting.blogspot.com/2009/04/teaser-tuesday.html
Here’s my teaser. Thanks!
Yep — definitely need to declutter around here… I seem to have a problem with clutter. And, like one of you (above) said, I know I’ll feel much better (on the inside) if I get rid of the excess “stuff” around me.
MizB
That teaser is just too true! I’m getting ready to embark on a huge decluttering effort very soon. I’ll have to add this book to the other declutter/get organized books already on the list! Thanks!
Here’s my teaser: http://thewordjar.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/teaser-tuesday-april-14/
I finished a great book last night, and I’m just about to start another one, so I have a teaser and a bonus today!
That’s an effective picture! Think of the clutter like bacon grease in our bodies, leading to stress and illness – yuck!
My teaser is here.
My teasers are at Of Books and Memes. Yours sounds like a definite must-read!
OH MY I MUST HAVE THIS BOOK – if only I could de-clutter. I am seriously paralyzed at times due to it.
However – reading stuff like Orcs makes me feel a wee bit better. Take a look at my teaser to see if it makes you feel better too.

Good point about the clutter. I guess it doesn’t count just to stuff it all in a closet, though.

Very good point about clutter! I’m kinda anti-clutter except when it comes to books, LOL.
My teaser is from “Slumdog Millionaire”.

Getting rid of the clutter is actually the easy part – keeping it at bay is a whole other monster entirely!
Nice to know that I am not the only one challenged by your 2 sentences rule ;0) Though I didn’t have a problem with that one this week – here’s a free sample of Perfume for everyone…
Clutter and kids. Is there a way to have one without the other?

All right! Two weeks in a row. This one was hard because I’m reading manga this week. But, voila!
I need to go through and declutter, I just don’t have the time.
But I did find the time to post my teaser up on my blog.

hey this is a great idea!
Catherine gropped blindly. The reins whipped in the wind but she found them, took them in her hands. The carriage rocked in the pitted field, but she held on.
