Teaser Tuesdays (Jan. 13)

January 13, 2009 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 for today are…

  • ‘The lid fell out of her hands with a soft clang and she slumped over the freezer, shaking uncontrollably. Her heart was pounding and something had happened to her voice. She gasped and tried to form words, but no sound came. (From pg. 279 of The Private Patient by P.D. James)

How about you-do you have any good teasers to share with us today…

    Yes, I agree, that book has my attention.
    I would do mine but…. it is hard to type with only one hand! 🙁

    That is a great teaser!! I’ve never read a P.D. James book but if I were to base it on your teaser I think I just may have to!!

    I played along for the first time today too!

    Sounds like an opening segment of House, one of very few TV shows I bother to watch.

    Great teaser, Dar!

    Thanks for your comments everyone. I’ll have the review of The Private Patient up tomorrow. It was pretty good.

    Mary, she definitely saw something in the freezer. lol.

    Wendy, I hope you’re doing better. Typing is very hard with one hand.
