Teaser Tuesdays (Dec.8)

December 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!

My Teasers:

“Bill maintained a stony silence. His gaze lingering on me until the last minute, Eric stepped through the door, and Bill locked it behind him.”

~ p.104, “Living Dead in Dallas” by Charlaine Harris

 

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!

  117. Sondy permalink

    I went nuts this week. I posted five teasers. The titles and authors are listed here: http://sonderbooks.com/blog/?p=950

    Teaser Number One: “Well, you mustn’t be caught by them!” the king said to Minli. “Then they would find out all about my little adventures and then where will I be?”

    Teaser Number Two: The dresses and the food didn’t matter, but the laughing did, and you didn’t wear the bells out by ringing them. Did happiness wear out?

    Teaser Number Three: This doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but it would seem weird if I didn’t mention that the Hallsteds’ green Cadillac might not actually be green. I am a deuteranope.

    Teaser Number Four: There wouldn’t be a chance to get coats. In the falling snow, she could hold the baby against her, using the blanket to shield him.

    Teaser Number Five: On the way to lunch on Tuesday, they pause at the front end of the car, united by a common sympathy for ruined metal. Duncan can’t help thinking that given a woman’s bruised face or a bad dent, he knows which one he’d wince at first.

  118. Allison permalink

    Oh what a teaser!!! A little late on my post.

    Garland of Straw by Stella Riley

    Page 139 on the *cough* wedding night between the unwilling to be married H&H,

    “Because, hard though it may be hard for you to accept, I’m not inclined towards rape and have an undoubtedly plebian preference for more than just a body between the sheets. Even, I’m afraid, when the goods on offer are as decorative as you.”

  123. Corrine permalink

    Here’s my teaser. I posted it Tuesday but didn’t get around to linking it until now… http://lostforwords-corrine.blogspot.com/2009/12/teaser-tuesdays.html :)
