Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should be Reading and it asks us to...
- 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 this week comes from Random Magic by Sasha Soren: "He looked towards the sweep of dark red marble that spiraled out of the room, into the upper reaches of the castle. Then he blinked in surprise" p. 115

Good teaser! I wonder why that startled him though. I have two teasers this week. My YA teaser is from Trickster's Girl by Hilari Bell and my adult teaser is from Wolfsbane by Patricia Briggs. Happy reading!
Now I'm really curious...what is in the upper reaches of the castle?
Here's mine:

Here is my teaser from Witchgrass: A Pipe Dream by Dave Wilkinson (Page 1):
Most gardeners hate witchgrass. Of all weeds it is one of the most persistent and adaptable. Any small piece of rhizome left in the soil can become an aggressive plant ready to take over the plot. Witchgrass is hard to pull. Roots are deep, and break off easily. Any part left in the ground will grow again. Farmers say the species isn't even good as hay, not as good as timothy or alfalfa. Some call it quickgrass.
Early New England colonists blamed evil people for this garden invader. In the seventeenth century villagers would speak this way:
"The surly woman living alone on her dead husband's estate. She goes into the woods and consorts with the Devil. Signs his book. Fornicates with him. Eats mushrooms. She and the Devil send witchgrass to harass the virtuous and the Godly. Let us hang this witch and seize her rich farm."
Nice teaser.
My post is also up along with my first giveaway.
