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.
I screamed her name. Over and over. And each time I screamed her name, smoke came into my mouth and throat and lungs until I couldn't scream anymore.From page 19 of Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton.

Of all the things I'd ever done, making Senora laugh seemed the most important.From page 54 of A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron.
It was, I reflected, the only thing that gave my life any purpose.

I haven't read either. The first makes me think burning building. The second would sound like a love story, save for the title.
ReplyDeleteGerard's teaser gave me chills! Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of either of these books before. The first teaser made me tense but then the second teaser made me sigh. So everything is alright now. :D

ReplyDeleteAwesome teasers... I mean, smoke coming to my mouth when I scream for her? Where am I?In a fire?
ReplyDeleteAwesome teasers, never heard of these books, but you made me interested!! I also wanted to say that I love that you guys are donating to Wounded Warrior Project, it's such a great organization. I've volunteered at one of their bike races, and it is such a good cause :D
