Teaser Tuesdays (May 26)

May 26, 2009 by Darlene


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! 😉

Here are my teasers for today…

  • ‘The man didn’t move. “Excuse me,” she croaked louder, and tapped him again, then jiggled his arm. Nothing happened. I’m practically middle-aged, Peggy thought. She hadn’t done anything like this in her twenties, when it might have been excusable. She was thirty-four and mortified.’ (pg 5, Mating Rituals of the North American WASP by Lauren Lipton)

This book is great. I’m really enjoying it and should finish it up this morning. Doesn’t that teaser make you wonder what happens to her next? lol. How about you-any good teasers to share today?

    Even the title of the book is enough of a teaser to tempt us!

    Great teaser! Wonder why she is mortified. . . is he dead. . . a one night stand who fell asleep. . . did she somehow knock him out??

    I’m also wondering if he’s dead! (And is 34 practically middle-aged? Surely not yet?)

    Gosh, I’m wondering if he’s dead and if so, how did it happen…LOL

    Yes, I really want to read this one! Just the title alone is enough to make it intriguing. Thanks for the teaser.

    Great teaser but I really want to know what WASP stands for?

  21. The Bumbles says

    Forget about your character being mortified – I’M mortified to discover that I am beyond middle-age!!!

    I think Wendi B. may be on to something with her one night stand guess.

    This one sounds very good (just by the title) 🙂
