Title: Past Perfect

I glared at him. "You came all the way to Essex just to spy on us?"
"Yeah." He smirked. "I crossed the street. It was really rough."
Ah, I do like a good bit of sarcasm... :-)
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 "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 and author too so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
Hi Rachel-
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by from the campaign. I'll play the teaser game :)
READY PLAYER ONE
by Ernest Cline
"Each word appeared on my display as I said it. 'No one in the world ever gets what they want and that is beautiful.'"
LOL. I do, too. :) Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteHehehe! A good dose of sarcasm is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! What fun- thanks! The excerpt you chose was great!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fellow campaigner in the Fantasy & YA categories. I'm not in your groups, but I wanted the fun of getting to know more writers. It's so great to meet you!
I had fun reading about you in your ABOUT ME tab. I loved where you wrote that when you grew up in South Africa, you spent a lot of that time living in your imagination. Fantastic!
Great teaser! As soon as I saw this one, it got added not to my TBR list but to my must read now list!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! :)
Ooo...I miss my Teaser Tuesdays. Awesome teaser!

ReplyDeleteI'll play! I'm reading Storyteller, by Sherry Isaac:
ReplyDeleteI crumpled then, words reduced to bubbles of spit on my lips. Jim gathered me up in his arms before I hit the ground.
Great idea!
Ha, great tease.
ReplyDeleteI love sarcasm too ;)
Hehehe. Cute. :-)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I'm reading The Distant Hours by Kate Morton. (she's sooo good.)
ReplyDeletePerhaps Percy only imagined the rotting odor? It had been an unfortunate phantom lately; it turned out there were some things, once smelled, that could never be escaped.
Definitely a teaser! It's on my TBR. I'm also a fellow campaigner, thanks for commenting on my challenge. Your blog is so fun! Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI kissed him back. I forgot time. I forgot my feet.I forgot the people outside, waiting for us to rejoin the party. I forgot what happens when friends cross into this space. And if my lungs didn't fill, and my heart didn't beat without my intervention, I would have forgotten about them, too.
ReplyDeleteTwenty Boy Summer by Ockler.
Also I LOVE the cover of the book you chose, LOVE :D
great pick for your teaser sentences! They display great voice and humor. Definitely peeked my interest in the book:)
ReplyDeleteIs this a YA? It sounds good fun.
