Teaser Tuesday

I haven't taken part in Teaser Tuesday for a few weeks. The first week I was reading a book on my Kindle and I'm still undecided about how to pick a random couple of sentences on the Kindle. You can't just flick back and forth like you can with a paperback.

And then I figured as the book was only 150 pages long I'd be done with it by the next week... but I wasn't... nor was I done by the week after that... or after that... you get the idea.

I think the Kindle makes me believe that I have read more than I actually have. With a paperback you read 2 pages and then you turn the page. Whereas with the Kindle you read 1 page and then turn the page. So I become convinced I've read twice as much as I have (although the Kindle does calculate how long it will take you to get to the end of the current chapter).

So anyway back to Teaser Tuesday...


All you have to do to take part is:

• 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!

Then head over to Should Be Reading and add your link to the comments. 

Here's mine:

Max had once tried to argue that his leather coat was a key piece, but as Alice pointed out, rather brutally, it was more of a meanness issue than a style one. He'd had it so long that on a pay-per-wear basis, it now owed him money.

This book also counts towards my total for the New Authors Challenge 2014 hosted by Literary Escapism.

The Tueday Teaser sounds like a lot of fun and have made note of it. So many intereesting prompots to enter (sigh). Cruising the AtoZ highway- Michelle @ http://www.writer-way.blogspot.com
