Tuesday Memes

 

 

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jenn at Books and a Beat. 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 Teaser Tuesdays participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

First Chapter/First Paragraph/Tuesday Intros is hosted by Diane at Bibliophile By The Sea.

To play along, share the first paragraph (or a few) from a book you’re reading or thinking about reading soon.

Leave your link at Diane’s post for that week.
