Teaser Tuesday (Feb.9)

February 9, 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:

“You develop into your own false prophet, and if you don’t stop yourself, you won’t rest until you’re proved true. It’s a miserable trap of self-inflicted insecurity.”

~ p.80, “So Long, Insecurity” by Beth Moore

 

 

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!

  1. Here is my teaser for Blood Magic by Eileen Wilks. Enjoy!

  2. I have thought about reading a Beth Moore book for a while…this one sounds good. Here is my teaser:

    • Oh, I highly recommend them, Tina! She is sooooo insightful — and funny, too! The subject matter might be deep, but Beth is hilarious! :)

      I learn sooo much from her!

      This one is good, but I also recommend her book, “Breaking Free”. It’s one of my favorites.

  34. From Chapter 1 of The Legend of Wolfboy

    —————————————

    New novel published anonymously online by well known author in contract dispute with publisher. Begins publishing as it’s written this week at http://LegendOfWolfboy.com/ Contact for review copy of first chapter along with printed edition later this year.

    —————————————

    Dusk was deepening toward another dark summer night and the chilly mountain air felt like frigid fingers running down their spines.

    A near-full moon began to peak through the majestic mountain pines that dominate the western slope of the California Sierra Nevada mountain range, adding to what was already and eerie atmosphere.

    “It was seven years ago today,” Ryan growled, his voice breaking the silence on this starless night, June 13, 1995. “The car radio said severe thunderstorms were threatening to hit the Sierras, but the Jacksons were set on going on their annual family vacation to Shaver Creek.”

  35. Here’s my teaser a reconstruction of a famous 19thC English case of murder.

  36. I’m reading So Long Insecurity too.

    Here’s MINE

  49. My mom enjoys Beth Moore Bible studies, but I don’t know anything about her. I think she’s onto something with that quote though.

    Here’s mine:
    http://theintrovertedreader.blogspot.com/2010/02/where-are-you-and-teaser-tuesday.html

  50. mine’s up!

    that type of insecurity is self-destructing, like OCD and the like. interesting how it bids goodbye since the process of mental problems is long and hard.

  51. I totally believe that.. Whatever you wish to be, will be.. even if it’s negative thinking.

    Here is my teaser: http://wellreadreviews.com/teaser-tuesdays-once-a-witch-meme
