MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read.
*Open to a random page.
*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others.
*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!
Here's my teaser from Penhallow by Georgette Heyer (p. 168):
"If you'd the sense of a flea you'd know what's apparently been going on under your long nose!"
"I don't go pokin' it into what's none of my business. Well for you I don't, and never did!" she replied rather grimly.

ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser from "The Lodestone Book One: The Sea of Storms" by Mark Whiteway (Prologue):
ReplyDeleteIt was early in the afternoon, when Kal first saw the flying rock.
Well, perhaps "flying" was a slight exaggeration; a subtle embellishment that he might have used later when trying to impress his younger brother, or his friends after third-day prayers. It was a least enough to break Kal out of his reverie. Hymarr's reaction was the last thing he had expected.
He has been rehearsing in his mind for days beforehand how he would ask her to accompany him to the Spring Gratitude Service. That morning, as he lay in his bedchamber, before even Ali-Gan, the yellow sun, has risen over the western horizon, he determined that today was going to be the day.
A rather feisty teaser!!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for visiting my blog.

ReplyDeleteSounds like there's a lot of humor in this one, judging from this dialogue.
ReplyDeleteThe sense of a flea! What great expression. I will have to use it today.
