Teaser Tuesday (50)

Hello, everyone! It's time for Teaser Tuesday again, a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

Rules:

• 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, my teaser is from Waifs and Strays by Charles de Lint. I've been reading a lot of anthologies lately, and this one is SF/F YA. I love the worlds and settings in this book--they're amazing.

(One of my favorite covers. SOURCE.)

"I must go," he said. "I must stop him before he grows too strong."
   Tetchie could see the doubt in his eyes and understood then that though he knew his brother to be stronger than him, he would not admit it, would not turn from what he saw as his duty. She tried to stand, but her strength still hadn't returned.

Teaser Tuesday (25)

(Hey! The date actually matches the number of times I've done Teaser Tuesday.)

Okay, enough with the trivia. Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB HERE at Should Be Reading.

Here are the rules for participating:

• Grab your current read

My teaser is from The Painted Boy by Charles de Lint.

(I absolutely LOVE this cover. It's black, gold, and red, and the dragon is excellent.)

She nodded. "Okay. Play it that way. But let me know if you change your mind."

   Why did everyone think he was so much more than what he was?
