Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.26)

January 26, 2010

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:

“He just lived with it. But that didn’t mean he didn’t notice.”

~ p.87, “Hero’s Tribute” by Graham Garrison

 

 

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!

    This week I have teasers about two different heroines at a crossroads in their lives, wondering what they should do, despite their growing love for the hero. You can find them here.

    Did I mention that they were both great reads?

  27. Good teaser !!!
    Mine is posted here

  28. Ooooh. What was it, whatever it was? Now I’m curious.

    My teaser this week seems almost tame in comparison:
