Teaser Tuesdays (Nov.30)

November 30, 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:

“Finding what you’re yearning for often begins by paying attention to what you’re muttering under your breath. When you hear yourself saying, ‘All I want is…‘ or, ‘If only I could just…’ it’s a sign that you’re feeling frustrated, even desperate.”

~ p. 17, “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!

  1. This sounds like such a great book. Thanks for the teaser :) This week’s teaser – The Countess by Lynsay Sands

  2. Good teaser with truth in it :)

    Mine is from a great book by J.R.R Tolkien http://t.co/mw9zXOx

  3. Hi MizB,

    I think that I could really benefit from reading your chosen book. Frustrated and desparate, are the two words that leapt off the page and as for the mutterings under the breath…..!!!

    This is my teaser for the week, taken from ‘Evil Under The Sun’ by Agatha Christie

    http://www.fiction-books.biz/category/my-latest-news-and-musings/teaser-tuesday-my-latest-news-and-musings/

  4. Here is my teaser this week.

  5. A nice teaser, but isn’t “practical dreamer” an oxymoron?
    My post: The Christmas Chronicles

  6. Oh. So that’s what’s going on.

    Mine is here

  7. so Iam having some technical difficulties with my Teaser Post so I will be back later to add my link.

    Oh dear – I think I’m frustrated – I often mutter those things under my breath :)

    OK – I know I am frustrated and desperate!!!!

    My teasers are up now as well:

  12. That sounds like an interesting book. I’m more likely to think something than mutter it, but I guess it’s the same principle.

    Here’s My Teaser

    Here’s mine:

  79. What a true teaser! I know how much time it takes when you host memes (having just been a guest host for a month for one myself).
