Teaser Tuesdays (July 19)

July 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:

“This means I’ll have to hold on to that piece of mind I was going to give him. Though I can’t see his eyes behind the sunglasses, I know from his close-lipped smile to the palm-out hand he raises in acknowledgement that he’s looking at me.”

~ p.81,Restless In Carolina” by Tamera Leigh



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!
