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!

pg. 37 of The Good Thief by Hannah Tinti
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!
He had worked himself into a rage again, and it was only with great effort that he brought himself back under control. Even so, the words spit from him like bile.
pg. 65 of the Black Unicorn by Terry Brooks
Thanks for sharing this.
Any time! I quite like your teaser- it’s full of rage.
Great teaser! That book goes on and off my TBR list each year. Maybe it’s time to re-add it. Here’s my teaser this week – http://justbookreading.com/2009/11/17/teaser-tuesdays-3/.
Add it back! I’m really enjoying it.
Great teaser though sad. I wonder why he won’t visit.
He’s leaving his orphanage. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh this sounds like such a sad teaser. Mine is here:

The novel isn’t as sad as the teaser, though- don’t let it fool you! Thanks for popping by.
How sad in some ways. Here is mine
It’s a bittersweet moment, to be sure!
Interesting, I hadn’t heard of this one before!
I’m not actually sure where I picked up the recommendation- it may have been the New York Times‘s Sunday Book Review. I’m really enjoying it!
I’m intrigued, will read more on this one.
