We know better than to expect much--to us, running water and a few old mattresses is good living. We've managed with a lot less.From page 7 of Etched in Sand--The Story of Five Siblings Who Survived an Unspeakable Childhood on Long Island by Regina Caterra.
They were just kids on a trip to London, but they were fascinated. Almost immediately other people were stopping to see what the fuss was about.From page 67 of A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen.

"It's not a big deal, but Cecilia, please, I'm asking you not to open it." He sounded desperate.From page 48 of The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty.
"It doesn't matter if we have many people, or just a few. Nothing can keep the Lord from giving us victory."From I Samuel 14:6 of the Holy Bible (ICB).
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!
The Husband's Secret . . . better not to have any secrets at all in marriage :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser: Dan Brown Portal
I really liked the Husband's Secret, Sisterland, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane. The Etched in Sand teaser caught my attention.
ReplyDeleteAll great teases!

Hmm...just what is he hiding from her? I was intrigued by both that and Etched in Sand.
ReplyDeleteAll good teasers, enjoy!

Love the snippet from Samuel.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to The Husband's Secret. I am jealous that you have Ocean at End of the Lane. I am waiting for that book!
