Tuesday Teasers: 4 Today


Gerard's:
Dinner with his family was the least he could do.
     Much later, he'd replay that moment over and over again in his head. 

From page 11 of Suspicion by Joseph Finder. (I read this last week but liked it so much, wanted to share a teaser from it.  Click link for my review.)

It was crucial that he keep the little ball of fur happy and quiet, at least for now.  He unzipped the front of his leather bomber jacket, slipped the puppy inside, and zipped it closed again.
From page 11 of The Dog Who Could Fly by Damien Lewis.

Karen's:

Oliver--they can't be the police.  Why would the police do something like this?
From page 65 of Wolf by Mo Hayder.

Deep-tone walls are an elegant backdrop for bright art you want to feature.  To keep the room from seeming oppressively dark, use a pale carpet and plenty of well-directed lighting.
From page 72 of Color Schemes made easy.

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!

"Suspicion" by Joseph Finder

Suspicion by Joseph Finder deals with a dad whose daughter attends an exclusive school.  When he cannot come up with the money for a school trip to Italy and falls behind on her tuition, another dad whose daughter attends the same school pays it for him.  Problem solved, or is it? 

This book is filled with twists and turns which make it a real good page turner.  I always wanted to pick it up to see what would happen next!  Do not miss this one!

What My Cat Is Reading This Week


I was involved in sports camp this week at Parma Heights Baptist Church.  I am coaching 19 4th grade boys in basketball in the mornings and 13 in the afternoons this week.  We have 20 minutes for devotions each day so I get up early to run through it to time it.  I left my stuff on the floor yesterday to eat breakfast and when I came back, I saw my Manny Boy reading the Bible.  It was so cute, I had to take a picture!  Our theme verse this week is I Peter 5:7:  Give all your worries and cares to God for He cares about you.

Have you read your Bible lately? Happy Reading!

"We Were Liars" by E. Lockhart

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart is about a young girl who comes up with a plan with three of her closest friends that ends in tragedy.  When it is over, she does not remember anything about it.  This novel covers before and after the incident.

I liked this book a lot because it kept me turning pages.  The ending was very well written answering all the questions I had.  It's a quick read and worth reading.

"We are Called to Rise" by Laura McBride

There are three main characters in We Are Called to Rise by Laura McBride.  They are a woman whose husband drops a bombshell on her that changes her life, a war vet in a hospital dealing with a tragedy that happened while he was on tour and a young boy dealing with growing up in the USA, a new country for him.  All these stories are good on their own but when they all come together, wow!  This book goes into over drive!  LOVED this book a lot!  Great writing and very good twists!
