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.
Karen's:
Yes--a wrong answer will be penalized. Dizziness. Vomiting. Hallucinations. Maybe even death.
From page 109 of The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau.
For, "The one who desires life, to love and see good days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it."
From I Peter 3:10-11 of The Holy Bible (New American Standard version) See my review of I Peter posted yesterday.
Gerard's
"I had a dog once." Those were words I'd hear again and again. As soon as people saw Pransky, or put their hand in her hair and stroked her neck, they were transported back to some time and place in their life that was not here or now.
From page 67 of A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home by Sue Halpern. (My review will be up tomorrow.)
At six, she lets herself get up, amazed, horrified, and oddly thrilled to find that the events of the night before were not a dream, but beyond all that impatient to find out what exactly happened, and what will happen next. Murder, she is convinced of that.
From page 16 of The Why of Things by Hartley Winthrop.

A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home sounds like a wonderfully observant biography. I think I'd like that one! :-)

Four good teasers! I'm definitely interested in A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home and The Testing.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from ORPHAN TRAIN.
The Testing is one I've had my eye on--sounds good! My teaser: Caroline Takes a Chance
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read The Testing. I've seen so many mixed reviews I don't know if I want to read it or not. Great teasers

You have quite the variety of teasers! My teaser comes from a Dorothy Sayers mystery.
ReplyDeleteThey all grabbed at me.
ReplyDeleteDeath is quite the penalty for a wrong answer.
