Teaser Tuesday: 9/20/11



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
    Yara's Teaser:

    That's what I'll be, if I'm lucky. Invisible.
    And silent. I had to be. There was only one chance for escape.

    Tammy's Teaser: 

    “I want to know how to make this girl laugh. I want to know what makes her cry. I want to know what it feels like to have her look at me as if I’m her knight in shinning armor.”

    Monica's Teaser: 


    "Snatching up the toast, she ate quickly, her gaze bounding across the museum of artifacts on the walls, a clutter of antiques that were all probably worth thousands but none of which featured a proud freedwoman from the Civil War. An odd feeling tugged at her again, and she turned around quickly, as if to catch someone watching her."

    Jenny's Teaser:


    They hit the ground hard, and the exhaustion of their flight overcame them. Their sleep was dreamless, as it would be for a long, long, time.
