Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.18)

January 18, 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:

“She glanced up, and he saw tears on her cheeks before she could avert her face or wipe them away. Or was it only the rain?”

~ p. 75, “The Girl in the Gatehouse” by Julie Klassen
