Teaser Tuesdays (Sept.13)

September 13, 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:

“Your strengths are always going to be accompanied by balancing weaknesses. Therefore, you should celebrate the thing you do well, and stop worrying about the way God didn’t make you.”

~ p.11,The Power-Based Life” by Mike Flynt



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!

    “The first time I saw the throng of paparazzi swarming towards us, pointing and flashing their eye-blinding cameras in our direction, my first impulse was to make a Who, me? face and turn around to see if Lindsay or any of those other infamous train wrecks who love to twitter their whereabouts to the papz was about to fender bender my size 5 ass.” –from The Facebook Nostradamus (Predictions Can Be A Bitch!)

  116. E.R. Escober permalink

    “I’m all for this kind of selective breeding, which I believe started when horse-face Princess Anne married dreamboat Mark Philips, to improve the stock of this ugly royal family. That was why I was thrilled when Princess Diana further diluted the wretched pool when she gave birth to handsome William and even handsomer Harry. Now with this wedding, this royal clan was finally living up to that fairy tale image of the handsome prince who falls head over heels in love with a beautiful maiden and lives happily ever after. “–from The Facebook Nostradamus (the bitchiest bitch lit you’ll ever read!)
