Teaser Tuesdays (Sept.28)

September 28, 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:

She closed it behind her, unlocked the door with the shiny new key that she’d found on her dresser that morning, and slammed the door behind her. There was a shadow standing at the end of the hallway.

~ p.62, “Glass Houses” by Rachel Caine

 

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your two ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

  115. This week’s Teaser is from one of Georgette Heyer’s mysteries.

  116. Ooh who was waiting in the hallway? This teaser piqued my interest.

    Here is mine: http://precisionreviews.blogspot.com/2010/09/teaser-tuesdays.html

  117. Hooray! More links to follow and people to discover! MizB, I’m home sick and my throat is so sore. This is the WORST time to share this, but, I am so enamored with this book and the author’s comfort level with just telling it like it is — good and bad. Be a little open minded. :) Here goes:

    ["You won't regret it," I assure him, and he finally reads the look in my green eyes correctly, because he begrudgingly nods his okay. Promised pleasure will made people do the most unusual things.]

    The Ultimate Guide to Fellatio: How to Go Down on a Man and Give Him Mind-Blowing Pleasure by Violet Blue

    Relax gang, she tells all the bad stuff and dangers involved for both giver and receiver. In addition, she quotes husbands and wives along with single people. I’m still working on it but, if you’ve thought about it, you might want to investigate and, maybe, think twice about just how far you’re willing to go.

    As much as I know we are trying to discourage our youth from these activities, you may want to get a copy of the chapter that talks about “Safe Sex” — it may make them think twice! Scary details. I’m just saying. These things can be used as preventatives!

    Thank you for letting me share — I just appreciate the author’s candor and if you’ve been looking for facts about this topic, you’ll like this.

  118. Here’s mine! It’s from a Christian Romance check my blog to see which one ;-)
    http://steelergirl83.blogspot.com/2010/09/teaser-tuesday.html

    XOXO~Renee

  119. Instead of my latest personal read this time, I’m sharing a great children’s book my son just got!

    Have You Filled a Bucket Today?

  120. With that teaser and that cover, I’m going to have to check out these books for my Not-So-Bebe Girl Autumn!

  121. Yeah, I know it’s Thursday, but I just found this meme, and I have to start doing teasers. So, here is mine, from Graceling – Kristin Cashore:
