Teaser Tuesday (54)

Time for another Teaser Tuesday, everyone! Now that you've all decided to hate me for my movie choices from yesterday, let's get back to the usual.

This weekly meme is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

Rules for participating:

• 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 The Best of the Best: Volume 2: 20 Years of the Best Short Science Fiction Novels, edited by Gardner Dozois--again. Because it's taking me extremely long to get through this anthology. (I don't know why, but I tend to struggle with SF collections, despite the fact I often like the stories and writers.)

Fidel announced he was going to school tomorrow, and Mrs. Joplin told him no, he could link to E-class as usual, and Fidel claimed he could not concentrate at home, and Mrs. Joplin said he was trying to get out of his chores. While they were arguing, Tree nudged my leg and shot me a let's leave look.

Teaser Tuesday (52)

Can you believe it's been one whole year of Teaser Tuesdays? A year?

It feels like I was just starting out a month ago, with my first teaser from He Forgot To Say Goodbye by Benjamin Alire Saenz, on August 10, 2010. Ah yes, the good old days . . . and then there's my second teaser, and third, which I clearly remember posting. (I can't believe I formatted them like that.)

Yes. Right. You didn't stop by to listen to me reminisce, did you?

This weekly, bookish meme is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading.

• 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!)
