Teaser Tuesdays (Jan. 20)

January 20, 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…

  • ‘ “Not true?” I asked, angry now at his presumption. “You’ve had too much too drink.” “My dear, the same could be said of you,” he replied, and in response I poured myself more wine. ‘ (page 194/195, The Only True Genius in the Family by Jennie Nash)

How about you, do you have any teasers to share from your current read with us? Join in the fun.

    If you can’t beat ’em join ’em … or so I’ve heard. Title has me wondering which one is the genius.

    Uh oh – Emmy drank some wine the other night and we were scared because we heard how bad alcohol is for cats, but she’s fine thankfully!

    I’d love the opportunity to pour myself another glass of wine in response to someone’s snarky comment. I’m going to try to set this scenario up at home (minus the snarkines, perhaps).

    Great teaser, Dar! Mine is here.

    Lenore, thank goodness Emmy is ok. I always worry about Buddy getting into what he shouldn’t.

    Alyce and all, I’m enjoying the book so far-it’s good.

    I liked the teaser because sometimes people are so frustrating that another glass of wine seems the best way to go. lol. Glad you all liked it.

    Dar, I didn’t realize that you had also posted a teaser from the same book! I’m enjoying it so far.

    Avis, I’m liking the book too. I should be done this weekend.
