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 particpants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!

Here's mine from The Girl in the Green Raincoat by Laura Lippman (p. 6):

"Remember how you used to say you would love to take time off just to read and watch movies?" Crow asked her now, continuing to bustle around the room, putting a vase of flowers on the mantle, then moving them to the windowsill. For a straight man, he was alarmingly in touch with his inner Martha Stewart.

    I'm pretty sure I don't have an inner Martha Stewart. :)

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!
