Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday is here again.

The rules are very simple:

• 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 hop over to Should Be Reading to add your link and find other teasers.

So my teaser for the week is:

"Scott took a pair of polyethylene gloves from his pocket, pulled them on, and then carefully lifted one corner of the sheet to expose words that were stenciled in faded blue ink. STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION AT ROCKVIEW."

And this book counts towards not one. Not two. But three of the reading challenges I'm taking part in.

Random Quote #89

 The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

Where Is The Love?

This question has been answered - the love has been caught on camera! This video is great; it's spreading across YouTube fast but I just had to share. :)

The bit at around 1.03 made me go 'WHOA!'


So that's where the love got to!

Teaser Tuesday


I'm still on the same book as last week... but it is over 400 pages long.

The rules of Teaser Tuesday are simple:


• 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 skedaddle on over to Should Be Reading to add your link. 


Here's my teaser for the week:


"The rooftops of Little Italy were a village unto themselves, a few stories off the ground, but so close, the children could easily hop from one building to another. Most rooftops were decorated simply; some had tomato plants and herb gardens, others flowerpots and small grills for cooking."
