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
- 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.

A mother gorilla, Binti Jua, with a baby on her back, was the first to reach the boy. She seemed to have a purpose in mind.From page 56 of The Bond--our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them by Wayne Pacelle
From page 154 of The Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game by Dan Barry"Give Howie a call down there and we'll count you when you call in. See how many people we have still with us on this Easter Sunday morning, listening to Rochester Red Wing baseball here on XPXN."
In other words: Is anyone out there?

It's interesting to see teasers not from YA books. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

ReplyDeleteInteresting and amusing teasers.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen and Gerard,
ReplyDeleteYou have picked on three completely different, but equally insightful and emotional books this week.
Not being into sport very much, I would probably discount the baseball book, although the lines were great.
With the animal book, I guess you can be quite certain what you are going to be getting in terms of reading content.
So, because the lines were intriguing and the full synopsis sounds pretty emotional and full-on stuff, I would probably choose 'Crossing Lines', as the book that I would most like to read from your selection.
Thanks for sharing.
Yvonne
