Teaser Tuesdays (Apr.20)

April 20, 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:

“Don’t contribute to the objectification of women everywhere by giving the perverts of the world one more faceless body to drool over. Instead, be mysterious!”

~ p.57, “So Much More Than Sexy” by Mark Atteberry

 

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!

  65. My teaser this week is on Envy by Anna Godbersen. It’s part of the Luxe series.

    http://kariannalysis.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesday-420/

  66. As long as “mysterious” doesn’t mean “dowdy,” I’m good with it. The problem for me is that women have been told men will drool over the sight of an ankle, so where’s the limit? Why does it have to be about men’s response and not just what’s best for women to wear? Perverts will be perverts no matter what you do. OK, end of rant.

    Here’s my teaser:

    http://teabagsinfusion.blogspot.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesday.html

  71. I like that tease! Good advice too… :D Mysterious is sexier.

    My tease is a nice snarky remark from Hush, Hush. Come on over and take a look…

    Happy Tuesday – Miranda

  72. Interesting. I married young to a man who was my friend first and so I never thought much about appealing to him the way some of my friends seemed to feel they “had to” appeal to men. I wish this book had been around then — I might have passed it around :)
