Meme: Teaser Tuesdays
Jul 13, 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!
I actually have two teasers this week because I’m reading two novels at the moment xD
Teaser #1: “Even before the coming of the cautious Alberico from overseas in Barbadior to rule over Astibar, the city that liked to call itself ‘The Thumb that Rules the Palm’ had been known for a certain decree of asceticisn. In Astibar the mourning rites were never done in the presence of the dead as was the practice in the other eight provinces: such a procedure was regarded as excessive, to fevered an appeal to emotion” – p. 50, Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay
Teaser #2: “‘I need them to slip up…I nee a break,” murmured McMahon.
“I wouldn’t count on it,” replied Heaney.”
- p. 348, Term Limits by Vince Flynn
Been meaning to get around to both books for some time now and I finally have. Heard wonderful things about Tigana and I figured it’s time to really tackle an amazing book written by Kay (I guess it doesn’t hurt that they re-released all his books recently in mass paperback with gorgeous new covers *is a sucker for amazing covers*) and it’s quite interesting so far. Haven’t gone far in it partially because it’s quite a brick in the new releases but I’ll be reading more soon enough =) As for Term Limits, I’m in the mood for some suspense and this novel caught my attention. It’s doing its job nicely, lol.
