Teaser Tuesdays (Apr.19)

April 19, 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:

“Confronted with the image, she won’t be able to deny knowing him. Grabbing my bag, I jump up and race from the hotel room, the photo still clutched in my hand.”

~ p.25, “A Hidden Affair” by Pam Jenoff




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!

    My teaser tuesday comes on wednesday this week…

    http://tantoslivrostaopoucotempo.blogspot.com/2011/04/teaser-tuesday-15-2011.html

  109. The last book I read was “Beastly” by Alex Flinn. I am now reading “Sing You Home” by Jodi Picoult, her latest and “Bait” by Alex Sanchez. I think next I will read another one Jodi’s book and the e-book of Alex Sanchez’s latest novel. I am also waiting on an ARC called “Releasing Gillian’s Wolves” to come . If that comes I’ll put down the other books and read that. The author asked me to read review it for her.

Please be patient if your comment doesn't show up right away... I will 'release' it as soon as I can. Thanks for your thoughts! ~MizB
