Teaser Tuesday – 8/18
Aug
18
categories : Being Bookish

“Teaser Tuesdays” is a weekly meme run by MizB over at Should Be Reading have fun with us and play along.
Here’s how it works:
- Get the book you’re currently reading
- Open it to any random page
- Share 2 “teaser” sentences from anywhere on that page (Be courteous of your readers — DO NOT INCLUDE SPOILERS!)
- List the title & author of the book so people can add it to any future reading lists
This week I’m pulling teasers from Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart.
“Reny says we might as well be shoveling dry concrete, and yesterday Owen, red and real hot, tossed the axe to one side and pounded the pit with his fists. “you’re looking ridiculous,” Danny leaned in and told him, but it was Ida who snapped him back to his senses.”
Do you want to tease? If so post one of your own.







Margot:

Sounds good! I really want to read a Beth Kephart book – they’re on my to-be-acquired list. (which is actually snippets of papers all over the house.)

Miss Footloose:
I just found and linked up with your site. I think I might enjoy this! I love to read (and write –I’m a writer). Might as well jump in with the teaser sentences: Here’s what I’m reading:
FINDING NOUF by Zoe Ferraris
Teaser: If the neighbors had seen her, who knew what would happen? Yah, Allah, they could be arrested for this.
