Teaser Tuesdays!
By Lisa. Filed in Teaser Tuesdays |
Happy Tuesday! This promises to be a fun reading week for me — I am already caught up in my current read and I am listening to a great audiobook to go along with it. What could be better than 2 great books at once?
You know how the Teaser works: take your current read, open to a random page and share 2 teaser sentences with us. (The whole fun of the thing is trying to find just 2 sentences that give you a flavor for the story.) No spoilers please, and be sure to tell us enough about the book that we can run out and buy it.
This week, I am all aflutter over John Dies at the End
Solving the following riddle will reveal the awful secret behind the universe, assuming that you do not go utterly mad in the attempt. If you already happen to know the awful secret behind the universe, feel free to skip ahead.
Now, isn’t that a promising beginning? You just know interesting things are going to happen! Be sure to check back next week for my review.
What’s teasing YOU this week?

This is one of those that jumps of the shelves. Here’s mine, opening chapter of The Legend of Wolfboy – published anonymously by author in contract dispute w/ previous publisher. It begins publishing as it’s written this week. http://LegendOfWolfboy.com/ Reviewers can contact the site for a review copy before it’s public.
—————————————
Dusk was deepening toward another dark summer night and the chilly mountain air felt like frigid fingers running down their spines.
A near-full moon began to peak through the majestic mountain pines that dominate the western slope of the California Sierra Nevada mountain range, adding to what was already an eerie atmosphere.
“It was seven years ago today,” Ryan growled, his voice breaking the silence on this starless night, June 13, 1995. “The car radio said severe thunderstorms were threatening to hit the Sierras, but the Jacksons were set on going on their annual family vacation to Shaver Creek.”

That sounds great – It kind of reminds me of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for some reason!

Oh man, if I picked up a book that started with those two sentences, I would be all over it immediately! I may in fact rush out and try to find it myself, now. Wonderful teaser, thanks!
My own teaser is at Bookishgal.

That’s a great start! It definitely makes me want to read on. Great teaser
Tuesday, February 9th 2010 at 6:46 pm |
I love this teaser! And a book described as a psycho journey to I-don’t-know-where is hard to resist.
Tuesday, February 9th 2010 at 7:51 pm |
Great quote and I love that the book tells you “John Dies at the End”
Tuesday, February 9th 2010 at 11:39 pm |
