Teaser Tuesdays (Dec. 2)

December 2, 2008 by Darlene

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

  • Grab your current read.
  • Let the book fall open to a random page.
  • Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
  • You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
  • Please avoid spoilers!

My teasers…

  • ‘Hey, I said, my sister is alive, right? I immediately regretted it.’ —pg 85, The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews

How about you-any good teasers from the book your currently reading. Join in the fun.

    Wow…My sister had a close call about a year ago now and I said pretty close to the same thing! I haven’t heard of this one either.
    Thanks for the teaser!

    LOL – I don’t have a sister, but I’ve heard similar comments from friends!

    Here’s my Teaser! It even includes a movie trailer for the book!

    Anna, I thought so too-seemed kind of attention getting anyway. lol.

    Jo-Jo, those kinds of phone calls are just plain scary.

    Jill, I haven’t read A Complicated Kindness yet but I want too, even more so after you saying you liked it.

    Wendi, I’m still hitting up the blogs today. I’m slower than slow.

    How did I miss these on Tuesday?!

    Corey Redekop (Shelf Monkey) did a great review of The Flying Troutmans at about the same time I was reading A Complicated Kindness so I’ve already got this one on my ’09 tbr list.

    From the sound of your teaser, this one is every bit as interesting as my first Miriam Toews read.

    Okay, that teaser, along with the title made me have to look that one up on Amazon.

    Hey, did you change up your colors again? I like it!

    Wanda, I’ll definitely be picking up A Complicated Kindness after reading this one.

    Shana, yes I changed up the colors again. I get bored easily.
