• 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!

‘No, Seaweed Brain. That’s hummus. Hubris is worse.’
‘What could be worse than hummus?’

The flagship of the Universal Union Space Fleet, and one of the fleet’s largest ships. But for all that, one of just thousands of ships in the fleet. For the first nine years of its existence, aside from being appointed the flagship, there was nothing particularly special about it, from a statistical point of view.

I sat down and swiped his beer before he’d had a chance to even look up from typing. ‘Oh, my sweet lord,’ I sputtered, choking down a mouthful, ‘what is this? Fermented motor oil?’

The Sorrowful Men were an ancient sacred guild of assassins, so named because they always whispered, ‘I am so sorry,’ to their victims before they killed them. The Qartheen were nothing if not polite.

Page 576, A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin

Sorry for not doing these lately. I’ve been reading a string of ARCs and most ask that you don’t quote anything until you refer with the published copy. Hence, the lack of Teaser Tuesdays.

Got any good quotes?

Writing in Books

books, highlight, quotes, reading, underline, writing in books

When you are reading a book and come across a quote you want to remember what do you do? Do you underline? Highlight? Write out the quote elsewhere?

I personally cannot get myself to write in a book unless it’s for school. I really can’t get myself to do it. The other night I was reading Sighs Too Deep for Words and I came across this quote that was beautiful and I wanted to remember it. I spent about ten minutes debating if I should underline it or not. Since I didn’t have a highlighter I ended up putting the quote in parentheses. And then proceeded to immediately regret the decision afterwards.

Do you write in your books?
