This week, my teaser is from Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto. I'd actually been following her blog for a while when I noticed that she had a book coming out; a little while later I saw it in Barnes & Noble; and shortly after that I found my library had it. Huzzah!
"Oh, I'm sorry. Um, maybe we should have started with the eggs instead."-p. 22
"It's okay. Chickens saved the day."
"Pardon me?"
"French chicks, to be exact," Paolo said. "Luckily for tiny premature me, as my grandfather often liked to remind me, the French chicks and their ingenious incubators at the Paris zoo inspired a doctor in the late 1800s to develop a similar incubating apparatus for humans. And so here I am today, fully indoctrinated with my nonno's fervent belief that you can get through life's tightest jams if you are fortunate enough to have a chicken on hand."

Got a teaser, or thoughts on the book you're reading?

That cover is awesome! and so is the teaser. Thanks for sharing! :)
Hate List by Jennifer Brown
Pg. 125
I reached down and felt the bandages wrapped around my thigh. And then I started to cry. Not loud crying or anything like that, but shoulder-twitching, lip-curling crying -- the kind I once heard Oprah call the Ugly Cry.
A very interesting look on chickens. :)
Interesting teaser!
Ms. Eagle,
This is an outstanding book.
I had the pleasure of reading it a couple of months ago and enjoyed it immensely. (written while waiting for my omelette to cook)
Enjoy!
Jenny
PEARSON REPORT
LOL That is a funny teaser, too. I like the flowers on cover, too, fantastic pic.
I love the cover of that book! One of my other blog friends was reading it too and I'd forgotten about it.
I just finished My Soul to Steal by Rachel Vincent. Line from page 1:
'My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend was a thing of nightmares. Literally.'
Book was awesome.
lol, fabulous teaser.
It's funny how when we see a book in a shop it ends up in our own library. Mysterious... ;)
Best use of chickens ever! LOL!
What a fab teaser and I do like the book cover too! Yay! Take care

Cute quote from your book. Here's mine.
"Fame is a worthless commodity. It will occasionally earn you some special treatment, if that is what you're interested in getting. It will also earn you a far more noticeable amount of hostile curiosity." From, "Experience" by Martin Amis.
Great teaser! And cover! Getting back into the routine and what a smile your post brought. Thanks!
Hello, I haven't visited you for a long time, much due to being without a computer for a long time. It's nice to be back and catching up. This looks like a fun project.
Hey thanks for your sweet comments over at my blog! Great blog and Im following you now!

Nice :-) Thanks for sharing.
Here is mine:
"The longer you wait and put off the nice things you should do on a regular basis, the harder it is to do them, until finally you have to force yourself to be nice, to be thoughtful, and it isn't easy, because you're embarrassed about not having done those easy, nice things in a natural kind of way."
The Memory of Running - McLarty
Thanks so much for this post. I added this to my wish list. And I love the cover.
Wonderful teaser, I'm totally intrigued by all that chicken talk. I love the cover as well.
Well...that's interesting
I love the cover!
That's a beautiful cover and the teaser is an eyebrow raiser. <3
Oh, that sounds fantastic - and what a gorgeous cover. Thanks!
"To simplify matters, we focused on fingertips and the soles of feet, the two areas that caused our patients the most problems." p. 193 The Gift of Pain . . . not my usual kind of read, but non-fiction works really well while NaNo writing.
Before Ever After has an awesome cover, and some interesting theories about chickens . . . made me smile.
What a charming little teaser.
That was funny! And I totally love the cover :)
There are so many fabulous reads and this is just another I can't wait to devour! Can't us writers/readers have a good chunk of time to curl up on the couch and DEVOUR THESE READS!!! I demand it!
Stopping back for a look around.
I love that cliff. :)

Great cover! Looks and sounds like my king of book :)))
That sounds like an unusual read. I can hardly type this as my cat keeps bumping my chin as he purrs contentedly.
I love that book cover. Nice teaser, too!
What a great teaser. I love the book cover too. Thanks for sharing!
That sounds like an interesting book. Great cover too! I'm reading Chosen by Denise Grover Swank (and am loving it!). Here's my teaser:
"Things have changed." His face implied wisdom older than his years. Every time Emma saw the fear and torment in his eyes after a vision, a piece of her heart withered in despair. Jake saw things no child should see.
Charles: I know what you mean--once I'm at the computer, I don't like moving. For anything.
Laila: You're very welcome! :)
Sinn: Glad you enjoyed the teaser!
Thanks for coming by my blog. :)
David: I like it, too! Though it always confuses me when I see the edge of the blue book on the cover; sometimes I want to pick that up instead. LOL.
Anytime!
Nancy: I feel bad for the character; it sounds like they're going through a lot.
Great teaser!
Cherie: I thought so, too. :)
Christine: Thanks!
Jenny: I'll never look at an omelette the same way again. ;)
Sonia: Glad you enjoyed the teaser!
Marsha: It's a good book!
I wonder what the boyfriend's like to date a thing of nightmares. :P Intriguing teaser!
Lynda: I'm glad you liked it. :)
Indeed . . . very mysterious!
Old Kitty: Chickens play a unique role in this book; it's one of the many interesting (and cool) points about the story. :)
Belle: Thanks!
Interesting teaser--and that certainly seems to be true, based on the way some famous people are treated.
Kittie: Thank you!
I'm happy it made you smile. :)
Inger: Welcome back! It's good to "see" you again. :)
Thanks for coming by The Eagle's Aerial Perspective!
Sam: Thank you so much for following! :)
E.D.: You're welcome!
Ah, now that's a true teaser.
Medeia: You're welcome. :) I hope you enjoy the book!
Tracy: Thanks--all the chickens throughout the story intrigued me, too, when I started.
Stuart: LOL. Who knows, maybe chickens really DO help. ;D
Beth: It ties in with a lot of other points in the story--it's kind of an inside joke the story lets you in on while you're reading.
Emily: I like it, too! :)
Brenda: Agreed!
Probably one of the more eyebrow-raising ones I've posted. :P
Talli: You're welcome! Glad you liked the teaser. :)
Tyrean: Interesting teaser!
And I agree; when you're working on a novel, Non-Fiction can be very helpful.
Southpaw: Glad you enjoyed it!
J. A.: It's a great cover. :)
Jen: Me, too! There has to be more reading time in the world . . .
Elizabeth: Thank you for coming by! :)
Glad you like my blog background--they're the Cliffs of Moher.
Nicole: It's Fantasy/Romance; I don't usually read Romance, but this was a really good story. :)
Madeleine: It is!
Our cat does that, too. :P
Lydia: Thanks! :)
Shirley: I'm happy to post about a good read!
Heather: I wonder how old Jake is--that's a sad teaser. I hope things look up for the characters!
