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:
“We wait for the lightning strike that will completely redefine our lives and give us clear direction. But the truth is, the greatest impact tends to come from hinge moments.”
~ p.43, “Quitter: Closing the Gap Between Your Day Job & Your Dream Job” Jon Acuff
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!

That’s true *nods* Thanks for sharing this teaser!
Here’s my teaser for this week: http://www.caffeinatedlife.net/blog/2013/03/04/meme-teaser-tuesdays-100/
I’d be interested in reading how the author defines a “hinge moment.” Sounds like a good book.
My Teaser is from THE LAW OF SIMILARS.
Aha! My teaser gotcha!
(I was wondering if anyone would wonder what a “hinge moment” is!)
Can I admit I don’t know what a “hinge moment” is? I’m guessing it’s something much more subtle than a lightning strike, and I think that’s the case for just about everyone excluding Powerball winners and young entrepreneurs of the Zuckerberg variety.
Stephanie (Go Flash Go) @ Read, Rinse, Repeat
Here’s my TT from Prodigy by Marie Lu, FANTASTIC book.
Interesting Teaser!
You can find mine here : http://www.sapphireddragon.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesday-51.html
Have a good week!
So very true. Awesome teaser!
Here are the teasers from Book Munchies (:
Wow. Nice

Interesting teaser! Here is my teaser for this week.
“Hinge moments” is an interesting term, new to me.
http://yarnknitreadlit.blogspot.com/2013/02/beautiful-ruins-by-jess-walter.html
Hmmm…interesting. It certainly makes you think.
My TT
Interesting teaser… I will admit I have no idea what a hinge moment is, but the rest is awesome.
Check out my teaser at http://www.onemilysbookshelf.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesdays.html
What a thoughtful teaser! And so true. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s mine, from Second Rate Chances: http://thebookishbabes.blogspot.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesday-second-rate-chances.html
hinge term is totally new to me. Thank yo for sharing the post! Here’s mine: Reese’s Reviews
I’m not su sure about that. It probably depends if you let those moments change things or not.
My teaser this week is from Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein.
Interesting. I think I probably agree, if I’m reading “hinge moments” correctly. Good teaser!
Here’s my teaser for this week:
http://jlshall.blogspot.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesdays-happy-hollisters.html
But isn’t the moment of a lightning strike a huge moment?
Mine is up
Sure! Absolutely! But, I think the point he’s trying to make is that it’s not all “lightning strike” moments, either… sometimes it’s the quieter things that can almost pass by unnoticed that still turn your life in a new direction, right?
I like your teaser, gives you stuff to think about
Thanks for sharing.
My Teaser of Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout + a giveaway
Interesting teaser. I especially liked the first sentence. Very inspiring.

Here’s our TT
You read quite a few motivational books (or am I assuming wrong?
)!
Here’s mine at http://bookcritiquerscommentary.blogspot.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesdays-4.html
LOL. No, you’re right on that. I love motivational books! I love books that make me think, make me grow, teach me something. I read a TON of nonfiction. In fact, you should see the list of nonfiction books that I want to read that are “challenging” to me! Some people would look at those books and think I’m crazy to want to read them!
Here’s mine

Here’s my teaser.
http://thatgirlreads.blogspot.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesday-1.html
Oh, yeah. Changing your life always involves hard work — lightning flashes don’t usually bring something good, but bad. Like accidents, deaths, etc. “Careful what you wish for”, right?
Today, my TT is from Flawed.
Great teaser, makes you think about what you’ve read. Here is my teaser tuesay:
http://thediaryofabookaddict.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/teaser-tuesday-3-2/
Sounds like an interesting book. Here’s ours: http://www.ourstack.blogspot.com/2013/03/tuesday-teasers-death-of-bees-and.html
This is true ~ anything and everything, now matter how insignificant it may seem, can lead to that defining moment… great teaser

Here’s my teaser from Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers. Happy Tuesday!
Never give up!
Hi MizB,
Those are some great teaser lines and probably some very wise words, although not always ones to which we can all adhere, although it would be nice in an ideal world.
My Teaser Tuesday is here:
http://www.fiction-books.biz/weekly-memes/teaser-tuesdays/the-englishman-and-the-butterfly-by-ryan-asmussen-2/
Yvonne
Why only in an ideal world, Yvonne?
I think we can have hinge moments and just not notice them… any time your life takes a turn that you didn’t see coming, that’s a “hinge”.
Aha! Thanks for explaining, MizB.
Hmmm… that’s a thinker! Thanks for sharing!
Here’s mine: http://lost-in-lit.blogspot.com/2013/03/teaser-tuesday-obsidian-by-jennifer-l.html

Good luck to you!
