Teaser Tuesday


I don't usually do meme, as I'm always late and always catching up with something, but this Teaser Tuesday is fascinanting and interesting and another way of suggesting/finding new books.

Teaser Tuesday 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!

This is my first teaser:

"New information was hard to retain, because of the amount of useless old information littering his brain. It was strange that the one thing that he seemd to remember from school was poetry, probably the subject he had paid least attention at the time."
(Page 302 from When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson)

Sounds a great book. I went to an event with Sophie Hannah at the weekend and she mentioned Kate Atkinson.
Thanks for the lovely message. Glad to hear Rachel is progressing.

That teaser describes how I felt earlier this week. So I decided to hold a contest because nothing makes me happier than making others happy. I am reading Iron King so I just had to use it for my teaser. Here is my blog where you can find it: http://emmamichaels.blogspot.com/

I've actually got that book on my bedside cabinet waiting to be read. I think it's been there for about 6 months!

That's how I feel most of the time. Can't remember what I need to do at work, but I know all the lyrics to The Fresh Prince of Bellair.

Happy Friday, Antonella! It seems an interesting book. Nice teaser.
We got more snow, but now the rain is "melting" it. ;) It's been so gray and dark during the day later that I am never really awake during the day, LOL! Happy weekend! :)

looks very interesting – I also like the title and the cover – it is a good photograph of the sky.
