Teaser Tuesdays (Feb.15)

February 15, 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:

“’You want me to have your favorite book?’ He started to nod; this time it took him a second to lift his chin off his chest.”

~ p.209 , “Promises to Keep” by Ann Tatlock 

 

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

    • Yep, same book. I’m having a hard time sticking with it, even though I like it, and it’s a good book. I guess it’s just not the right time for me to be reading this one… :-?

  22. Hello MizB,

    Great teaser lines from you this week, they certainly give nothing away.

    From the synopsis for the book, I should think that reading it will be quite a sad, poignant journey and I look forward with interest to your review.

    My teaser lines for this week are from the contemporary romantic fiction genre:

  39. I don’t know if I could giveaway my favorite book. LOL.

    I’m playing today here.

  40. There’s a lot of sadness there, I feel. Why couldn’t he lift his chin off his chest? I’m sure it wasn’t because it was nailed there.

    Here’s my teaser. It’s an unusual one.

    http://www.suzs-space.com/blog/2011/02/15/teaser-tuesday…l-john-cleland/

  42. I don’t think I know that book. Interesting teaser.

    Mine is here.

  43. I thought I’d only missed one week of TT, but apparently it was more than that! Anyway, I’m back this week with a teaser from Kate Pearce’s Blood of the Rose!

  44. Nice teaser. I have two this week. My YA teaser is from The False Princess by Eilis O’Neal and my adult teaser is from Game for Anything by Bella Andre. Happy reading!

  45. Hello everyone!!! Great teaser MizB!

    Hope you get a chance to stop by Gone with the Words for this week’s Teaser Tuesday!

  46. Jessica S. permalink

    Mine’s from Secrets and Shadows!

    Here’s my teaser

  47. My teaser is here. It is something that is very relevant for me right now.

  48. Great teaser, will certainly keep an eye out for this one!

    Here’s my teaser, something a bit different this week. I warn you, it’s a bit chunkier then usual.

    I hope you enjoy! :0)

    http://scribble-scatter.blogspot.com/2011/02/teaser-tuesday-again-from-city-of-sun.html

  49. Hello! It’s my first time to play. Looking forward to checking out everyone’s teasers!:)

  50. Not sure where that teaser is leading. Is the book being given out of friendship only. Does the giver foresee danger and want to give things away to those they choose?

    Here’s mine: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/02/teaser-tuesdays_15.html

  51. Why was his chin on his chest, all I can say is that would be very uncomfortable. Here’s my teaser from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins, which is a very cute read, enjoy!

    http://lostinstories.blogspot.com/2011/02/teaser-tuesday-25.html

  52. (that last linked was mucked up, sorry …. try this one! :0)

  54. Interesting teaser. Wonder what is going on? Mine is posted at:
    The Delusional Diaries

  55. Jessica permalink

    I like that your teaser isn’t so easy to figure out. My last teaser summed the book up quite nicely dark and gritty. This weeks teaser I thought quite amusing so I had to use it which is interesting considering I’m reading The Stand.

    http://jess-vents.blogspot.com/2011/02/teaser-tuesday_15.html

  56. Love Teaser Tuesday, can’t wait to check out everyone’s teasers!
