Teaser Tuesday: 10/11/11

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:

Tick-tick.

What was that noise?

I held my breath and listened.

Tick-tick.

It sounded like someone - or something - was tapping their fingernails against the window.

Monica's Teaser:

"Marina?" I didn‘t hear her surface and she startled me. I could just make out the outline of her head. When she came closer I could see the eerie phosphorescence of her skin. I‘d seen mermaids glowing in the depths of the sea, but it was odd to see it on the surface.

Tammy's Teaser:

She broke one of the long silences that tended to overpopulate our most serious arguments. "I don't understand what you're so afraid of."
"I'm not afraid of anything." I told her.
"Yes, you are."
"You're not going to get me to marry you simply by challenging my manhood. I already know I don't stack up to most men. The Cap'n Crunch boxes in the kitchen are proof alone of that."
(John and Sonia)
