Teaser Tuesdays (Feb.7)

February 7, 2012

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:

“Someone is coming through the trees. We both let go at the same time.”

  1. Great teaser. Loved that book. Here’s mine this week.

  2. Great teaser as usual – free falling is such a compelling image!

    Our teaser this week is part of our LOL books reading theme. We’ve chosen a fantastically funny book by crime writer Colin Cotterill, featuring the unlikely coroner Dr Siri Paiboun in 1970′s Laos. I’ve read 2 books in the series now, and can’t wait to start the next one!
