Teaser Tuesdays (Jan 5)

January 5, 2010 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!


My teasers are from Roses by Leila Meacham…

  • ‘His love gave me life, gave me stature, made me important. But now I feel that it was all a sham, simply something for me to enjoy while he lived. In death, he took it all away, all the things I thought I was to him, and he to me.’ (pg 55, ARC copy, final copy may be different)


I like those sentences. So far the book is quite good. I hope to finish it up this weekend. How about you, do you have any teasers to share? Leave me a link or post them in the comments if you’d like.

    Yes, I like those sentences, too. A sad thought, but understandable. Wonderful teaser!

    Beautiful! And I love the cover 🙂

    I am re-reading Watership Down by Richard Adams this week. You can find my teaser here.

    Great teaser Dar…looking forward to your review!

    That sounds like an intriguing story. I wonder whether the narrator works through her grief and finds her own sense of identity.

    Oh wow. I could cry just with your teaser.

    This is a book I am excited about reading, and now I see it will be a very emotional read as well. Great teaser!

    I forgot my teaser this week but yours is good! The story seems interesting but I am curious how the title fits in.
