Teaser Tuesday (5/24)

Posted on May 24, 2011 | 2 comments

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

Grab your current read.

Let the book fall open to a random page.

Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

Please avoid spoilers!

You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

This teaser is from The Golden Gate: a Novel in Verse by Vikram Seth

From time to time Phil looks at Ed,

Who flushes a dark rapid red.

Paul falls asleep, still at the table.

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!

A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick

She checked to make sure she wasn’t being followed, although now it hardly mattered. She walked past the brownstones, turned into the street of dingy clapboard houses, and stood in front his red house.

And hearing her voice, I saw her face; to be exact, the face she’d turned on me when I sneezed. Her disgust had power.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, you’re on the wrong job site, you. Worst case scenario, you’re an enemy agent pretending to be a moron. Now get lost before I beat you up.

My two teasers

Panicked, heart pounding, I watched them all — the smiles of relief as the passport was placed in their hands, the angles of expectations as they passed through the security gate, the lightness in their movements as they disappeared onto the tarmac. I watched each one, until the last one passed through the exit, and the door closed. I was alone, with Paris on the other side.

Paris Was Ours (Thirty-Two Writers Reflect On the City of Light) — Penelope Rowlands

I’m reading this in preparation for my honeymoon in Paris. There’s no better way to get a feel for the city, really.

So after I said good-night to you and Nora, I met him there and we went to a lot of places, winding up in this place where I got the gun. It was an awful tough place.

Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje

She told him it was nothing, but at the farm, when she climbed out of the truck, she could hardly walk and he carried her into the house. It was the first time he had touched her in a year.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson

He had killed only a fraction of these women, but every woman anywhere near him was a potential victim. The cataloguing had the mark of a passionate hobby, and he must have devoted countless hours to it.

I must be the last person on this Earth to finally pick up and read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series, and I’m glad I didn’t wait another day.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

He looked like a shattered man, and his face was covered in sweat despite the biting cold. When he saw Miquel again after more than ten years, Aldaya smiled bitterly and said, “We’re all cursed, Miquel. You, Julian, Fumero, and me.”
