Teaser Tuesdays (Mar.29)

March 29, 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:

“’Breaking and entering and grand theft, library book,’ Meredith remarked. ‘I wonder what you get for that these days?’”

~ p.373, “Dark Reunion” by L. J. Smith (Vampire Diaries, book 4)
((I know I finished & reviewed this last Friday, but this quote was too good NOT to share!)) :P

 

 

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!

  4. The library book must be very valuable.

    Our teasers are here: Quirky Girls Read

  5. Oh, I don’t know. If it’s the one I have on reserve, I say the penalty should be stiff.

    Mine is up

  6. Intresting teaser. I haven’t read any vampire books in years.

    Mine is from Night Shift: http://t.co/hvjkhvo

  7. LOL I’m frightened to find out at my local library! I must read the books because I enjoy the TV series.

    Here’s mine: http://www.shelleymunro.com/blog/2011/03/28/teaser-tuesday-wilders-mate/

  8. Interesting! Here is my teaser from the humorous memoir, The Egg and I. Also, check out my book giveaway here.
