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!
My teaser Tuesday pick:
" 'Who's ready to warm up with some jumping jacks?' the hologram girl asked in a far too cheerful tone. Eva whispered to the Omnipod, 'Deactivate Gym Buddy!' "
p 22 "The Search for Wondla" by Tony DiTerlizzi
I have this book to read. My sister already read it and adored it. ^^

ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser from For The Win by Cory Doctorow.
Here is my teaser from "The Lodestone Book One: The Sea of Storms" by Mark Whiteway (Prologue):
ReplyDeleteIt was early in the afternoon, when Kal first saw the flying rock.
Well, perhaps "flying" was a slight exaggeration; a subtle embellishment that he might have used later when trying to impress his younger brother, or his friends after third-day prayers. It was a least enough to break Kal out of his reverie. Hymarr's reaction was the last thing he had expected.
He has been rehearsing in his mind for days beforehand how he would ask her to accompany him to the Spring Gratitude Service. That morning, as he lay in his bedchamber, before even Ali-Gan, the yellow sun, has risen over the western horizon, he determined that today was going to be the day.
LOL
ReplyDeleteNice!
I can imagine the vibe in this one already.
Cute! I'm looking forward to reading this and your review!

Laughed when I heard the "deactivate"... how many times have I felt like clicking an invisible remote when I felt a mindless activity being preached... non exercise related... more like math... sorry I'm terrible at math! Can't do it even with a calculator!
ReplyDeleteCool teaser! Adding this one to my TBR list --- sounds fun!
