This week, my teaser comes from Solid by Shelley Workinger --- "Experience told me that when someone tells you not to worry, it's because they're already doing it enough for both of you.  Though I wanted her words to be true, it seemed to me that if it were, we wouldn't have all needed to be secretly delivered to this secret government facility."  p. 54

I meant to open this book last night, to read a few pages before bed ..... and then wound up turning it right after Castle ended.     But I found a good teaser and plan to start this book today!

"The roadhouse, a big old honkytonk barn with a huge dirt parking lot that looked full to capacity, was called The Stagger Inn.  She stood at the edge of the glare cast by the parking lot lights, frowning."

This week, my teaser comes from Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness -- the 3rd book the Chaos Walking trilogy

"But he isn't.  He isn't the same Todd whose thoughts spilled out all over the place in a big, colorful mess, the one who couldn't tell a lie if his life depended on it, who didn't tell a lie when his life did depend on it, the Todd that saved my life more than once, in more than one way, that Todd who I could hear every uncomfortable thought of, who I could count on, who I knew - "

My teaser today is:  "Her little speech seemed to charm Mrs. Mariano, the groom's mother; she smiled in that isn't that lovely way to Francesca, but Mrs. Bean remained as snooty-faced as ever.   Well, Holly planned to crack that constipated expression with one bite of the amazing mozzarella she'd found at a tiny Italian market in Portland."     p. 165 from The Love Goddess' Cooking School by Melissa Senate

Teaser Tuesday!!!

Today's teaser comes from City of Dreams & Nightmares by Ian Whates (yet another great book from Angry Robot Publishers):    

"He felt the familiar stirrings of curiosity, wondering why this turn of events caused her so much concern , but sensed this was not the right time to question her any further and, for once, managed to resist the temptation to do so immediately."   p. 131

This week, my teaser comes from Never After, which contains stories from Laurell K. Hamilton, Yasmine Galenorn, Marjorie M. Liu and Sharon Shinn:

"Sally danced that night.  It was not the first time she had ever danced, but it was the first beyond the watchful eye of home, in a place where she was not known as the eccentric tatterdemalion princess - but as Sally, who was still a mystery, and unknown, without the aura of expectation and distance that so many placed on her."   p. 203   (Marjorie M. Liu)

This week's teaser comes from one of my favorite books from Roald Dahl:  Danny, The Champion of the World (which I'm re-reading for my celebration of Roald Dahl month).

And actually, it's three sentences today: "Captain Lancaster was a violent man, and we were all terrified of him.  He used to sit at his desk stroking his carrotty moustache and watching us with pale watery-blue eyes, searching for trouble.  And as he sat there, he would make queer snuffling grunts through his nose, like some dog sniffing around a rabbit hole."   p. 103

Enjoy your Tuesday, everyone!

This week, my teaser comes from a book I just got from the library:  The White Queen by Philippa Gregory.  It's a bit different from my usual reads, but I've always enjoyed Antonia Fraser's nonfiction books, so I thought I'd try a bit of historical fiction.

" 'I hope your husband will do it,' my mother says bluntly.  'For the only way to make the English throne safe is to hold a pillow on his face and help him to lasting sleep.' "    p. 180

Such a tease.........

"Ariel deadpans me.  'I suggest you dump him right now.  Unless you want a lifetime of his sassy mouth.'"  p. 158
