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 (well, we cheat and choose specific ones)
- 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.
Gerard's
Some of the people were so worked up that they tried to push and punch us. Others got up into our faces to yell, and some even spat at us.From page 7 of Banished--Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church by Lauren Drain with Lisa Pulitzer. (a memoir)
Karen's:
"Because Elle picked me to watch out for her, and you are seriously considering keeping her on life support, and that's not what Elle wanted. It's just wrong to keep her in this state, as an incubator for something that isn't even a baby yet."From page 48 of The Promise of Stardust by Priscille Sibley.
Happy Reading!
both of these sound great! they picked up my interest! so many books, so little free time...
ReplyDeleteThat memoir would be very interesting, for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy review of it will be posted tomorrow--I give it 5++ stars!
DeleteFun teasers... Thanks for visiting mine:)
ReplyDeletePromise of Stardust sounds like it's an emotional read.
ReplyDeleteIt is, even Gerard teared up at the end. I'm still reading it.

Oh, they both sound very controversial. Hope you like them. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteYes, they are controversial. Two very good contemporary books, one fiction and one non-fiction.
DeleteWow. I haven't heard of either. They both sound like interesting reads. The second really caught my attention. Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteGerards' teaser sounds like a horrible moment happening.
ReplyDeleteAnd Karens' reminds me how hard it can be for us to let go.
Second teaser sounded horribly sad. First one is interesting. I've been spit on before, it sucks.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of either of these, though "Promise" does sound good. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteBoth are very good contemporary books--one non-fiction and the other fiction.
DeleteWow, both books sound as though they would be really intense reads.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my teaser.
Wow...first one...some church! lol and the second is so sad...:(
