I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Teaser Tuesday-twofer

MizB at Should Be Reading hosts this cool weekly event.

Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:

--Grab your current read
--Let the book open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
--You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from… that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

~first off, Baxter is a dog~
"On the eastern side of Elephant Rock, Baxter found the distal phalange of a right index finger. It was a much harder find, given the size of the body part. Baxter was highly gifted when it came to the game of Smell-and-Find."

so it isn't somewhere between lines 7 and 12, it got your attention didn't it?

pg 69 of A Circle of Souls by Preetham Grandhi


and a second one:

"God must have known I couldn't live without you, Paul. Find our babies a mother. You know who their father should be. I'll be waiting.

I love you,
Tami"

pg 6 of Counting Stars by Michele Paige Holmes

Both of them are great teasers! Hope you're enjoying the reads

That first teaser would have been even more interesting (perplexing?) to think about if you hadn't mentioned Baxter is a dog.

LOL, Michael, I didn't think of that

Cecelia said...

Great teasers. I'm especially intrigued by the second one...will have to check that one out.

I didn't read the comment about Baxter being a dog at first, so that teaser definitely caught my attention, hahaha! Great choice!
