Teaser Tuesdays (Sept.22)

September 22, 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!

AnEyeForAnEye_IreneHannonMy Teasers:

“Emily took a long, slow breath and rested her forehead against the door as quiet descended in her condo. If the last thirty-six hours had left her reeling, the last thirty-six seconds had sucked the air from her lungs.”

~ p.82, “An Eye For An Eye” by Irene Hannon

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!
