Teaser Tuesday

I forget where I originally lifted this picture from - probably a facebook post. But it's funny!  I would love to use it for my next rant, kind of a rant button/badge thingy.  (that's internet lingo)


Teaser Tuesdays! The weekly meme that lets us tease each other with snippets of our current reads.  Hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading, this is a weekly book meme.  We go to a random page, find two sentences to tease with.  No Spoilers, of course (duh!)  Since I've just finished a book, I'll tease with one or two of my possible reads. 

Roil 
page 11
     David lost his grip and dropped onto the dead tree beneath his window, its rotten limbs snap-crash-snapped under his weight.  He landed in a heap on the soft mud beneath and clambered to his feet - no bones broken as far as he could tell.

page 6
     Jenny hadn't particularly wanted a baby; she hadn't yearned for one the way some women did, hadn't gazed longingly at rocking horses and cribs.  Her stormy relationship with her own mother had made her wary of family ties, and her marriage to Will Avery, surely one of the most irresponsible men in New England, hadn't seemed the proper setting in which to raise a child.

    1. The cover of Roil? yeah, she does. Definitely don't want to be on the wrong end of that weapon!

  2. Two good teasers. The Alice Hoffman book appeals to me more than the other one, but I enjoyed both posts.
    My Teaser is from TEN TINY BREATHS.

    1. I've been hit or miss with the Alice Hoffman books. Some of them I go right through, like Turtle Moon and Practical Magic. Others I can't even finish and then there's been a couple that just have been blah... On the whole, I think she's an amazing writer, though.

  3. Oh, both are new books to me. Great teasers! Thank you.

    I also have a teaser up this week if you'd like to stop by...

    1. I can't wait to get more into Probable Future, I have a feeling this one is going to be good.
