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:
“Like all practical dreamers, having committed to a dream, they jump into reality with both feet and put their time, energy, and money to work on living their dream. Not later, not someday, but right now.”
~ p. 100, “The Practical Dreamer’s Handbook” by Paul & Sarah Edwards
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!

Practical dreaming sounds like a bit of a contradiction – I bet it’s an interesting book.
My teaser and a very special multi-media giveaway.
It’s definitely an interesting book! Right up my alley! LOL.
That’s a lovely, inspiring teaser. Very thought provoking, I wonder how many dreamers think of themselves as ‘practical’ dreamers. I suppose my practical is part of my dream itself.
My selection this week is from ‘A Sensible Life’ by Mary Wesley and can be found here;
http://scribble-scatter.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesday-5.html
Your teaser is great. The only problem with it is most dreams are expensive. Sometimes you have to wait a little to get a lot. Like my library. Saving up for it but I should start to be able building it in two weeks.
My Teaser
I like it.
Here’s mine: http://wp.me/pFyoG-pZ

Here’s my teaser for the week! Happy reading!
That’s good advice. I hope you enjoy reading the book!
My teaser is from Heroes of the Valley by Jonathan Stroud.
Oh, I like yours! People often ask me how to get a book published (“write it first”) or written (“butt in chair”) but it’s funny how much they dislike my practical advice about their dreams. Here’s mine: http://carolinebookbinder.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesdays_23.html

What are you thinking of this one so far?
Here’s mine:
http://situationswhereyoumayneedit.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesdays-november-23-2010.html
Loving it! Only problem is, while it’s only about 200-ish pages long, the book is taking me forever to read because it keeps sending me off into daydreaming! LOL.
I’d recommend it, though. Especially if you have excuses about why you don’t currently chase after your dreams… if you keep waiting for “someday”… then this book is DEFINITELY one you wanna read.
So true! Great teaser!
http://fredasvoice.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaser-time_22.html
That’s great advice, but even the practical dreamer will get no where without a healthy dollop of luck.

Another quote that makes you think!

I like that! My book is about what happens when you make that leap.
http://teabagsinfusion.blogspot.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesday-november-23.html
I like the idea of a practical dreamer – you’d think those ideas would be paradoxical, but that quote really makes sense =)

Benedictus, sanctus: The writing of John O’Donohue

Sorry I can’t link to my blog for the teaser. So here is mine, hope you guys enjoy it! Plus I absolutely love this idea, its so much fun sharing the teasers and then reading everyones!
“All that afternoon the squire tried to steer clear of Molly, to whom he felt himself to have been an inhospitable traitor. But she was so perfectly unconscious of his shyness of her, and so merry and sweet in her behaviour as a welcome guest, never distrusting him for a moment…”
From “Wives and Daughters” by Elizabeth Gaskell.
