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.

From chapter 4 of an audio book: The Fifth Witness by Michael Connelly Clicking the link will take you to my review that posted on Friday. (It was so good, I HAD to do a teaser from it.)
She was in a box. She could touch the end of the box with her toes.From chapter 11 of Buried Secrets by Joseph Finder (audio book).
Karen's:
"We can't let that happen," the person on the other end of the line said matter-of-factly. "You've got to make sure it doesn't."From page 4 of The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clark.
What is your "but first"? I will follow but first let me. . . have some fun, build this house, get married, make a million dollars?From page 101 of Not A Fan by Kyle Idleman.
Have you read this one? What did you think of it? If you reviewed this too, feel free to share your link to your review in the comments. Happy Reading!
You guys have a lot of books in the air. The one where she's in a box is intriguing, but I'm not much for scary books. Here's Mine
