It was an odd request--visit a stranger's house and peer inside a closet--and as I drove through the neighborhood searching for the address, I felt my anxiety mounting.From page 1 of Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain.
Gerard's:
When there is a new story about a woman killing her child, there is almost always some reference to my mother. Her story is that famous.From page 8 of Sure Signs of Crazy by Karen Harrington.
Then she flipped him of with dismissive contempt. That's all it took. Rage blasted through him and orange spangles erupted in front of his eyes.From page 34 of The Highway by C. J. Box.
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've always wanted to read CJ Box. I loved the Interestings. I have Sure Signs of Crazy here, wating to be read. I should get to it!
ReplyDeleteWow these are all great teasers. Makes me want to know more. Here is my TT http://cynthiastacey.com/2013/09/24/teaser-tuesday-sept-24/
ReplyDeleteI like the Diane Chamberlain intro!

ReplyDeleteI love your heading. I have a grey tabby cat who could have posed for your picture.
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome teasers! They make me curious about all the books. I want to know why someone is going to a stranger's house to look in a closet, what happened with her mother, and why he is so full of rage over a simple gesture. I'll definitely be looking into these books! My Teaser Tuesday
ReplyDeleteThose all sound good. The Highway is actually on my book wishlist. My teaser: Oliver Twist
