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!
But she hadn’t been asleep- had she?
Fumbling to lift the receiver, the palm of her hand already damp with panicky sweat, she knew, just knew it must be bad news.
pg. 179 of We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

There was a lot of bad news in this book, if I remember correctly!

It’s definitely not going to be a happy-go-lucky book from what I’ve read so far, but a good piece of literary heartbreak is good for the palate every once in a while!

Great Teaser, I want to know more is it a mystery. Here is mine.

I agree I enjoy some literary heartbreak once in awhile too! Is that morbid? For my current read, it is just the opposite though, it is good clean fun:
Mine is up at The Burton Review

Not at all! Think of it as a palate cleanser- how would you enjoy good clean fun if it was all you read?

Ooo, I read this one a while back. Great book!

I’m loving it- I can’t wait to read it during the day.

Oh no! What’s the bad news?!
Nice teaser…a real “tease”! I also really like the name of your blog!
Here’s mine, from Hilary Mantel’s WOLF HALL.

I don’t even know yet! I’m just as teased as you are.
Aw, you’re too sweet! The layout of your blog is absolutely lovely. You are most definitely going on my RSS feed!
