...escape into the pages of a good book

Teaser Tuesdays (April 19)

by


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 this week come from my current read The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer…

‘All over town, the spell did its work. No one knew, of course; how could they possibly have known? Even in the absence of a spell, no one ever really knew what went on in anyone else’s bed.’ (page 87, uncorrected advance copy, final printed copy may be different)

This novel is definitely intriguing and different. A spell over the town that makes all the women turn their men away. Interesting concept. I’m about a quarter of the way through so I’m still reserving an opinion but you can see what I think on Wednesday when my review goes up.

How about you – do you have any good teasers from the book you’re reading this week? Share in the comments or leave me a link to your post. Have a great day!

  8. My teaser from Tough Customer~Sandra Brown

    "Berry stared at the food container that had been thrust into her hand, and it felt as alien as all the other disruptive elements that had been thrust at her over the past twenty four hours"
