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.
But the creature in front of Gregor rose at least four feet in the air. Granted, it was sitting up on its back legs, a very unnatural-looking position for a cockroach, but still . . .From page 25 of Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.
Karen's:
Often, we focus on our own needs and simply overlook the needs of the other person. The wife needs love; she is not trying to be disrespectful. The husband needs respect; he is not trying to be unloving.From page 32 of Love and Respect by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs.
Happy Reading!
Interesting teasers! Though giant cockroaches are not my thing, lol. The second one is very true. Here is mine.
ReplyDeleteSuch diversity. I'm worried that the oversized cockroach isn't getting enough respect. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteIn my family both of us need both love and respect. They go well together.
ReplyDeleteA giant cockroach? Run away!!!!!
I'm almost finished the Hunger Games trilogy, so Gerrard's screamed out to me... lol
ReplyDeleteI loved The Hunger Games trilogy, but have not yet tried her Gregor series. Might have to seek those out... My teaser: Little Women
ReplyDeleteReally Awesome teasers. I loved them both. I have been meaning to read Gregor the Overlander for a while. I will have to move it up my tbr list. The 2nd teaser is so thought provoking. =] Thanks for sharing and visiting My TT

Two interesting -- and diverse -- teasers. I lived in South Florida for many years, and I saw cockroaches that looked big enough to saddle! (slight exaggeration)
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from A COLLIE RESCUE.
Karen's teaser is very true. I've been wondering about Suzanne's other books. Hope you are both enjoying your read.s
ReplyDeleteInteresting teasers. I definitely would not like to be anywhere near a cockroach *shudder*
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Project to be Read :)
Both of these teasers are brilliant! Also feeling a little annoyed it took me nearly five minutes to place Suzanne Collins name; could've googled but I refused, I knew it was there somewhere! I blame the fact I've just woken up :)
ReplyDeleteMy teaser for the week: https://myjourneywithdepression.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/teaser-tuesday-the-comfort-of-our-kind-september-11/
A giant cockroach - sounds like my worst nightmare - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Suzanne Collins' other works, except for Hunger Games. Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks also for dropping by Read@UTS!
ReplyDeleteNice teasers. I've heard Gregor is a great story. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA cockroach that is over four feet--yikes!
ReplyDeleteLove and Respect sounds like a good read. A lot of truth in that teaser.
OMG - the cockroach of nightmares. I once read a story (can't remember what it was called, but Oracle comes to mind) about a future where cockroaches evolved and took over - using humans for food. uggggghhhhh. had a hard time with hat one.
ReplyDeleteI hate cockroaches! I am sure you enjoyed reading that one Gerrard!
ReplyDeleteGreat teasers. Collins' Gregor the Overlander sounds like and interesting read.
