They clutch the raft with rigid hands. They are unwilling to let go, unable to pull themselves out of the swirling current.From page 13 of Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda. (Just finished this one, see my review before this post.)
Once in the building, my body felt enveloped in a mist of darkness and evil. This place was a vision of hell to me, all red and black, packed with a crowd geared out in studded leather who seemed, beyond any other terror, utterly unpredictable.From page 101 of The Never List by Koethi Zan. (See Karen's review.)
Karen's:
"It's a tough thing to do in these parts, but you be friends with anyone you want, Jason Lee. Don't let nobody tell you different, you hear?" Her tone sounded like a scolding.From page 8 of The Clock of Life by Nancy Klann-Moren.
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.
Happy Reading!
I have the Never List and Boys in the Boat here to read or listen to. Haven't gotten to them yet. The teaser from Never List sounds spooky.
