Teaser Tuesdays (Dec.15)

December 15, 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:

“The Cornwell reader looks up from her book, eyebrows raised, and one of the iPod girls takes out her earbuds. ‘I was just wondering if I could give you guys a million dollars’.”

~ p.156, “The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner’s Semester At America’s Holiest University” by Kevin Roose 

 

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!
