Teaser Tuesdays (Aug.25)

August 25, 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!

Thirst_vol1_ChristopherPikeMy Teasers:

“So caught up am I in replenishing my strength that I don’t immediately notice that we are three when we should be four. Opening my eyes, I see that Ray’s girl has escaped.”

~ p.273, “Thirst, volume 1: Black Blood” by Christopher Pike 

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!

    To those who had problems posting on my blog before, I’m sorry about that. I finally changed my blog template to something that looks somewhat similar to my old one; hope that gets rid of the double-posted comments.

    Thanks!

    I never read any of Pike’s vampire stories. Maybe I should? I liked some of his other stuff.
