Teaser Tuesdays (Jan.25)

January 25, 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:

“What has she said? I suppose she told you she and I had an understanding, but we did not.”

~ p. 288, “The Girl in the Gatehouse” by Julie Klassen

  85. My teaser this week is for Mistwood by Leah Cypess which is currently discount on Amazon for only $6.50 for a new hardcover copy!!! I posted a link to the price!

    After Beerbohm caught three mice we told the manager he ought to bepaid, as he was the theatre exterminator and the manager agreed to pay for the cat food. Beerbohm got into a fight with another tomcat and needed an expensive trip to the vet for a bleeding eye, “So we put him on payroll for one martinee as B. Tree, duties unspecified.”
