Teaser Tuesdays/First Chapter Tuesday - September 17th

Labels: ,


Every Tuesday Diane at Bibliophile By the Sea hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, where we share the first paragraph or (a few) of a book we are reading or thinking about reading soon. Care to join us?



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 reading...




The big thing about living in a truck-mounted camper, you bump your head a lot. So when Luis's chef Cruz wakes me up with repeated loud knocks, I crack my skull against the tin headliner for the third time in two days. Maybe I need a crash helmet.

"You cannot do the sleep in our parking lot, Austin."

I rub my sore head and peek through the camper's wallet-size plastic rear window. Either it's still dark outside or my brain is beginning to swell.

"I say this a hundred times." Cruz shouts now. "You do not listen. So now I say this...if you use our parking spaces for the bedroom again, I will rat you to the federales."

    Good opening, with a mix of humor and possible danger. I'd keep reading.

    I like the opening, but the cover makes me shudder ;-)

    Very cute opening, unusual. Sounds like a good book to read, for sure. Intense cover art, but I like the voice of the narrator, semi-sarcastic. Enjoy.

    The teaser is definitely better than the cover. I have to wonder what he'd be ratting him off for??
