Teaser Tuesdays (Sept.8)

September 8, 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!

regretfreeliving_stephenarterburn_LTcomMy Teasers:

“I was in a large room with three other patients, each of whom was suffering from advanced emphysema. Halfway through my second day one of the men began to cough vigorously.”

~ p.61-62, “Regret-Free Living” by Stephen Arterburn 

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!

((remember, the link for the comments is at the TOP of this post!))

    I don’t think regret is necessarily a bad thing. Actually, it seems like a lot of people could use a solid dose of it occasionally.

    Found your Teaser Tuesday link at bookworminginthe21stcentury.com. I don’t blog yet and love it when people comment on the book they’re “teasing” from before adding the link. Mine is from The Chimera’s Curse by Julia Golding (book 4 in the companions quartet which I gobbled up.)

    “I thought there was no harm in being prepared. I’ve met him three times already-I can’t believe he’s going to leave me along now.” “No, he will not. But that is very different from seeking him out, as you well know.”
