Teaser Tuesdays (Dec.22)

December 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!

My Teasers:

“So if I visit anything raunchy, he hears about it. And that ain’t good.”

~ p.217, “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!

    Mine is seasonal too – The Box of Delights by John Masefield, a children’s fantasy book set during Christmas. It was just full of great teasers! I couldn’t limit myself to just one so I chose two.

    Sounds like he got caught more than once :)

    My teasers are from the same author and series about a group of reformed thieves who are now working as secret government operatives and have a fondness for motorcycles. If you are a romance novel lover who likes their stories with lots of passion then the Wild Riders series is for you. This author has become a new favorite of mine. You can check out my teasers here

    Your teaser reminds me of the verse that says something like “the companion of fools suffers harm” and companions are anyone/anything we spend our time with/on.

    He remembered taking her out to the waterfront where Deirde’s body had washed ashore & how she’s talked about ways to fight the devil. Finally, she started up to bed, but a noise drew her into the kitchen.
