I was walking in the woods when Kate died. I'd asked her the day before if she wanted to pack a lunch and go to the Enon River to hike around and feed the birds and maybe rent a canoe.From page 3 of Enon by Paul Harding.
They set about executing the plan they had hashed out during the afternoon and then rehashed during the drive. Carol pulled the bedcovers down while Tom unrolled the rug and dragged the judge into the bedroom.From page 72 of Midnight--How Long Can You Hide a Death? by Kevin Egan.
Karen's:
Earlier this evening a medium-sized rat, trying to scrabble over the others, fell through the slats and landed on her back. Nauseated by the physical contact, she let out a scream--there was a brief uncertainty among the other rats, but the disturbance didn't last long.From page 97 of Alex by Pierre Lemaitre.(click link to see our reviews--both read this one)
When we sift His apparent activity through the standard of who He is, the fog begins to clear. Basing our faith on who God is rather than what He appears to be doing is crucial to our spiritual health.From page 120 of David--Seeking a Heart Like His by Beth Moore.
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!
This was a teaser feast from 4 books I haven't heard of :) Great post!

ReplyDeleteTwo deaths, rats, and David -- what an eclectic selection of Teasers! I love them all.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser is from AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
I would scream too if a rat landed on me. I just finished Enon.
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of any of these, and am most intrigued by both of Gerard's -- and maybe a little by Karen's first one. My teaser: Saint’s Gate
ReplyDeleteYou both have been doing some heavy reading.
