Teaser Tuesday – 23 August 2016

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme that’s hosted on Books and a Beat, but I found it on TheTattoodBookGeek. (Who btw is awesome. Check him out if you haven’t already!) It looked interesting so I thought I’d give it a go!

Anyone can play along. Just do this:

– Grab your current read

– Open to a random page

– Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on the page

– BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away. You’re going for aloof — share just enough to make them want more!)

– Share the title & author so other participants can add the book to their TBR Lists!


My Current Read:

Summerlong by Peter S. Beagle

About 15% in (The version I’m reading doesn’t have page numbers):

She stopped abruptly, but she did not release his arm, nor his eyes. Her dark-olive skin had gone pale as ice itself, and her eyes reflected the flames, and he thought he had never seen her before. She says, whispering herself, “This is what it means–stone cold.”


Synopsis (from Goodreads):

One rainy February night, while dining at a favorite local haunt, Abe and his girlfriend Joanna meet waitress Lioness Lazos, new in town and without a place of her own. Fascinated and moved by the girl’s plight, Joanna invites Lioness to stay in Abe’s garage. Lioness is about to alter the lives of Abe, Joanna and those around them forever.
