Teaser Tuesdays



Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1.Grab your current read
2.Open to a random page
3.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!





"I heated the water for your bath and mixed it into a half-full bath - another routine coming to an end. The minutes accelerated and I heard the same portentous clock strike, first nine, then ten."
p. 418 The Age of Shiva by Manil Suri

"He looked me up and down, from head to toe, the way I had been looking at him ever since I had come to the house. His eyes seemed full of wonder: how could two such contrasting specimens of humanity be produced by the same soil, sunlight and water?"





The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, p. 68
I am just starting this book but am excited to be reading it while traveling in India.

"I was trying really hard to be objective about this whole thing. So what if the girl didn't know that Nova Scotia wasn't anywhere near Alaska?"

Love Under Cover: Jessica Brody
p. 160
I like this quote because it epitomizes the very practical nature of Jennifer Hunter, the protagonist of this novel. She doesn't tolerate incompetence or frivolotity easily - a trait I can often relate to! I can see myself making a comment just like the quote above!
