Teaser Tuesdays 11.9.10


Teaser Tuesdays is an interesting and fun book-related meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Be prepared to add several new books to your TBR list! I do every week!

My Teaser:

" Everything matters here," he said quietly. "Everything adds up."
She glanced over at him. "Nothing about this adds up."
"It does," he said to her. "It's all there is."
"That's nuts," she retorted angrily. "It's random as hell out there-that is hell-random, incomprehensible accidents happening night after night.

from The Postmistress by Sarah Blake (p.158)

Anyone can play along! If you'd like to participate, Just do the following:

*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page. (I used 3 this week!)
*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!

*And, finally, don't forget to link your post to MizB's at Should Be Reading. If you don't have a blog, simply share your "teasers" in a comment.

Here is my teaser from Expiation by Greg Messel (page 1):

My sudden and unexpected return to Seattle was about to trigger a chain of events which completely change my life. Three months from this date my career, my life in San Francisco with my daughter and everything I had known before would be radically altered.

Hmmm...I have this one on my Kindle. Of course I bought it the day it came out, and there it sits. I shake my head at myself. I've heard it is a good read.
