Tuesday Teasers: 3 This Week

Gerard's:

At the end of the last street, past a forgotten cornfield and the ruin of a barn, sat the house that I was supposed to call "home." 

My father wanted me to remember the house.

From page 8 of The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson. 

However many crimes I'd committed already that morning, I'd done it all for a very good reason, and it must be said that they faded into insignificance next to the thought that I was abducting my brother.

From page 1 of She is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick. (My review will be up tomorrow)

Karen's:

Down the hallway, I went into a large closet, otherwise known as a Manhattan home office, and shredded the script I'd written to fool my daughter.  I sifted the confetti through my fingers and let out a breath as I heard Emma start to sob.

From page 10 of Now You See Her by James Patterson.  

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!
