Teaser Tuesdays (May 24)

May 24, 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:

“Men and women struggle in different ways when it comes to sexual integrity. While a man’s battle begins with what he takes in through his eyes, a woman’s begins with her heart and her thoughts.”

~ p.13, “Every Single Woman’s Battle” by Shannon Ethridge



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!

    Sorry it’s late, today, folks! I was away for the weekend, and then there was a storm when I got home last night & I couldn’t turn on my computer (for fear of power-outages). :-?

  2. The storms this year have been terrible! Hope everything is good in your neck of the woods.

    My teasers are here Manga Maniac Cafe

  3. Girl no worries!! I’m in St. Louis and went most of the day without power yesterday too. The storms have been aweful so far. We already got one tornado, and last night one hit about an hour from me and then died into a bad storm by the time it hit here. It mondo suck!! Hope you get to keep your power today;)

    Now come, let me tease you;)

    My index finger hovers over the trigger.

    “Get your gun away from his head,” I say.

    “You won’t shoot me,” Eric replies.

    “Interesting theory,” I say. But I can’t murder him; I can’t. I grit my teeth and shift my arm down, firing at Eric’s foot. He screams and grabs his foot with both hands. The moment his gun is no longer pointed at Tobias’s head, Tobias draws his gun and fires at Eric’s friend’s leg. I don’t wait to see if the bullet hits her. I grab Tobias’s arm and sprint.
