Teaser Tuesdays – January 5, 2010

Sheila, Hillary and I have decided to participate in Teaser Tuesdays and we’re pretty excited about it! If you’d like to participate as well, visit Should Be Reading for more information. And don’t forget to either link directly to your Teaser Tuesdays post in the comments or, if you don’t have a blog, add your teaser to the comments below so we can be teased by what your reading, too! See our Tuesday Teasers below:

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!

Shanda’s Teaser:

“He stopped as the quiet air without the door splintered with a thundering curse. The next instant, the door banged open and Triston stood on the threshold, a reddish glow in his eyes and his nostrils flaring like some primitive beast preparing for the kill.”

Illuminations of the Heart by Joyce DiPastena, page 175

Sheila’s Teaser:

“Reflecting a prism on the wall before him was a diamond tip. How this detail had escaped him thus far was a mystery. As he examined the diamond tip he marveled at the size of the protruding, rounded gem.”

Alvor by Laura Bingham, page 97

Hillary’s Teaser:

“Phillip absently held the receiver in his hand for a long time after Jim Perrett disconnected, and he stared at the far wall. The conversation with the Utah rancher had disturbed him, leaving him with more questions than answers.”

Dead Wrong by Clair Poulson
