Teaser Tuesdays (July 21)

July 21, 2009

teasertuesdays31 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!

sacredcipher_brennanMy Teasers:

“Bohannon whispered loudly in Rodriguez’s direction. ‘Perhaps the Louvre should apply the DaVinci Code to this [text]. Maybe that would solve the puzzle.’”

~ p.42, “The Sacred Cipher” by Terry Brennan

[*one word changed to avoid giving too much away; Also, I had to give 3 sentences to have this make sense, this week. ;) ]

 

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!

    Makes me wonder how many books reference other books by their titles. Guess you’ve achieved ubiquity if that happens.
    My teaser this week is from Stephen King – here.

    From the Mother-In-Law Rules by Sally Shields, page 76:

    “Don’t ever, no matter how much you are tempted, complain about your MIL to your husband. This is a conversation you will certainly regret.”

    Wise words indeed.

      Have you ever heard of a book called “Mildew.” It stands for, “Mothers-in-Law Do Everything Wrong.” It was very funny, especially if you have a difficult MIL. I like your teaser!
