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!
The Shadow of the Wind by, Carlos Ruiz Zafon- Page 5-"This place is a mystery. A sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it & the soul of those who read it & lived it & dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down it's pages, it's spirit grows & strengthens. In this place, books no longer remembered by anyone, books that are lost in time, live forever, waiting for the day when they will reach a new reader's hands, a new spirit..."
Oh yeah! I like that tease and the concept behind it. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteIsalys's Teaser:
"All things considered, he wasn't sure he needed to meet his destiny this ten minutes. Besides, even if she wasn't his fate, this human female was extraordinary...something special, something he had to have."
~p. 64 from "Lover Eternal" by J.R. Ward
Vanessa's Teaser:
" Stepping through the glass doors was like stepping back in time. The store had a papery old-book smell, and it was nice. I breathed deeply, briefly wondering if I could make a perfume that smelled like old books.... "
~p. 380 from "The Hollow" by Jessica Verday
Take Care!
Vanessa
