Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.11)

January 11, 2011

 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:

“Vowing to do better, eat healthier, and make good choices, I head into my day only to find myself making more excuses, rationalizations, and promises for later. Always later.”

~ p. 28, “Made to Crave” by Lysa Terkeurst
(again, I’ve already finished this book ~ read my review ~ but the quote was too good not 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!

  111. Like MizB, I picked my quote rather than going to a random page. I’ve read that a book needs to have an attention-grabbing first sentence. And Killer Hair certainly did. See the rest of my TT post at http://reading.elsi123.net/2011/01/teaser-tuesday-11-january-2011.html
