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!
My teaser is from Megan’s Way by Melissa Foster:
“Megan tried to break through to Olivia as she felt, more than saw, her daughter’s heart blackening with grief. She reached for her, mentally and physically, but was blocked by her daughter’s anger.”
There will be a blog tour in September with a guest post by Ms. Foster right here on booktumbling. Please look for my review coming soon!
That’s a great teaser! Mine is from Jo Graham’s Black Ships this week. Here it is…
I’m only 9 pages into The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society , and not hooked yet. For me, that’s not a good sign. However, many readers are raving about it, so I’ll hold out hope at least until page 20, and offer this teaser, which I do like:
“Having witnessed your electrifying performance of ‘The Shepherd Boy Sings in the Valley of Humiliation’ eighteen years ago, I know you will have every listener coiled around your little finger within moments. A hint: perhaps in this case, you should refrain from throwing the book at the audience when you finish.”
Great teaser! Mine’s here and is from Julia London’s Summer of Two Wishes.

Sounds good! I am wondering why she is so angry!
That’s an awesome teaser. Has gotten my attention.
Aw, kinda sad. I’ll be back to check out the author tour.
I will definitely check back about this one.
I am interested in this book but have heard around the cyberspace water cooler, that it does take a while to get caught up in the story. You will have to let me know what you thought.
I am starting to understand!
Should be good. The dates are set, you can see a link on my right sidebar.
