Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! 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 and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.
Duval grabs my hand and pulls me forward. "Ismae Rienne is sent from the abbess at the convent of St. Mortain."From page 207 of Grave Mercy by Robin Lafevers. (I read finished Grave Mercy last Thursday but it was so good, I had to share a teaser from it.)
The duchess's eyebrows shoot up. "Mortain? The patron saint of death?"
No factions? A world in which no one knows who they are or where they fit? I can't even fathom it. I imagine only chaos and isolation.From page 110 of Insurgent by Veronica Roth. Sequel to Divergent.
Karen's:
But his children--they had all gone on without him, had grown into people he would not know. They would be little more than strangers to him, and he to them.Taken from page 28 of The Returning by Ann Tatlock.
Everything's changed, he said, his voice rough.Taken from at 2% on Kindle of Betrayal by Lee Nichols (the second book in the Haunting Emma series).
I know. How you can ever forgive--
Forgive you? I'm dead because of you. And you still couldn't leave me alone.

I just finished Grave Mercy and loved it, too! Such a great idea. And I'm waiting for the parcel truck to deliver Insurgent.
ReplyDeleteGreat teasers, thank you for sharing and for stopping by at BookVenturers.
Gerard just finished INSURGENT today--you won't be disappointed! (Our reviews of it will be up Saturday if Karen can finish it by then.)
DeleteGreat teasers! I really love the one from The Returning by Ann Tatlock, going to check that out on GD's!

I just finished Betrayal (second book in series) today and liked it as much as the first, if not more. These are a fun read.
DeleteGreat teasers. I am going to pick up Insurgent today, but want to skim Divergent before I begin reading. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDivergent is very good, you should definitely read that one first.
DeleteA few good teasers here! Grace Mercy is definitely on my radar, and I still have to read Divergent. I've only heard amazing things. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to check out my teaser here.
We think you enjoy both of these books! Once you read Divergent, we're sure you will also want to read Insurgent.
DeleteLike them all, but Insurgent was the one that appealed to me most.
ReplyDeleteGreat teasers! I have Insurgent on my nook right now, but can't read it yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

Ann Tatlock's Teaser is so sad. Her books are always good.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered Ann Tatlock's books this year and so far read three and liked them all. Hopefully I'll get my review of this one posted tomorrow.
Delete"I'm dead because of you. And you still can't leave me alone" really stands out.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many good lines in this book, it was hard to choose.
DeleteGreat teasers! I have Insurgent and Grave Mercy on my shelf, just waiting to be read. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat teasers, thanks for sharing!!!
