Meme: Teaser Tuesdays

Jul 5, 2010 Meme

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- 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!

- Should Be Reading

My teaser for this week: “But, as Caroline had said, he rarely left Hundreds now, and though he still looked very much the young country squire, in an overcoat and tweed cap and with the strap of a leather satchel across his breast, there was something unmistakenably burdened and ill at ease about him–about the way he walked, with his collar turned up, and his shoulders hunched, as if against more than the chill November breezes. When I drew up across the street from him to wind down my window and call his name, he turned to me with a startled expression; and just for a second–I could have sworn it–he looked like a frightened, hunted man.” – p. 139, The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

This book has been on my want-to-read list since I found out it was shortlisted last year for the Man Booker prize. It’s interesting so far, a very quiet drama set in the English countryside after the war. Am curious to see how it all plays out =)
