Teaser Tuesdays (Dec.7)

December 7, 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:

“To Renaissance Souls, a library is like a candy store. Send us there, and we’ll get more distracted than ever!” :P

~ p. 241, “The Renaissance Soul : Life Design for People With Too Many Passions to Pick Just One” by Margaret Lobenstine
((I already finished this book yesterday — see my review — but I haven’t yet really started my next book … and I liked this quote just too much! I had to share!)) ;)



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!

    My teaser is here.

  7. Love the teaser sounds exactly like me I can spend hours in a bookstore!

    My teaser is from The Ghost & the Goth by Stacey Kade which I am really enjoying so far, Alona Dare, our protagonist, may be a real bitchy ghost (or “spirit” as she likes to be known) but she has some great one liners. Also I have some serious cover love going on!

    Wally Lamb writes that “Bloodroot can stand proudly beside The Color Purple and The Glass Castle, which likewise examine the push of the human spirit against the forces of tyranny and poverty.”
