Teaser Tuesdays


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 spoil the book for others.
*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!

Here's my teaser from 5 Bullets by Lee Thayer (pp. 101-2). Again, the passage was so book-appropriate that I just had to go over the two sentences:

We'll just go off somewhere and park in a pretty place for the afternoon. Francie has some highbrow reading she wants to do and I have a mystery story I'm dying to finish. Don't you like Nero Wolfe? Or do you prefer Hercule Poirot, Miss Hartley? I'm fond of them both, really. And then there's Perry Mason. He's a little unscrupulous, but always in a good cause. I find him more sympathetic than Philo Vance though...

Nice little line-up of detectives Mrs. Follette's got there. I'd go sit in a pretty place and read any of those with her.

  2. @CMash: Oh, you're a funny one, you are. NO. Emma is in the garage. Boxed up. Where she belongs.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
