Teaser Tuesdays - August 23rd

Labels:



If you'd like to play along on Teaser Tuesdays, just click the button above.


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 (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 week I'm using a book I'll be reading in the near future...




Both of these teasers are on the first page...

The opening line...

They would have found the body sooner if it hadn't been two-for-one Mai Tai Night.

and further down the page:

Six months ago, if anyone would have told her she'd be living on the North Shore of Kauai divorced, broke, and managing a shabby - albeit legendary - tiki bar, she would have told them to start spinning on a swizzle stick.

    Reminds me of my favourite opening line, "Someone had murdered a Munchkin."

    Great teasers! This one sounds very entertaining.

    I have two again this week. My first teaser is from The Dragon's Tooth by N. D. Wilson and my second is from Evil Ways by Justin Gustainis. Happy reading!
