Teaser Tuesdays (July 6)

July 6, 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:

“If only he knew how often in my daydreams about him I’d put those very words in his mouth. But now they meant nothing to me.”

~ p. 48, “Local Knowledge” by Liza Gyllenhaal

 


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!

    here’s my teaser for the week. it’s on speak by laurie halse anderson.

  39. I’m feeling rather embarrassed. I thought I’d be finished my non-fiction book before now and would be able to have some nice fiction ready to sneak a couple of sentences into Teaser Tuesday, I was wrong.

    Today’s book is Problogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income by Darren Rowse and Chris Garret. Highly appropriate for blogging but totally non-fiction.
