Tuesday Teaser/Teaser Tuesday #31

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Here are the rules: Grab your current read. Open to a random page. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page, and 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 Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!




He gives me that special glare concierges always give you when they figure out that you're American, or that you don't speak the language, like he ate a bad nicoise salad. Like I'm supposed to speak every language in Europe.
A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn






And now, for my Tuesday Teaser...For those of you who don't know, I do my Tuesday Teasers differently (and yes, I add this disclaimer every time). Each week, I feature two sentences (or more) of something I've written, leave it up all day, then remove it around 11 PM. You're welcome to comment on it, love it, hate it, or simply read it at your leisure...if you'd like, of course. This week's teaser is from my current WIP, RACE.






The Tuesday Teaser is down! Check back next week for more :)

  8. Here is my teaser from Expiation by Greg Messel (page 1):

    My sudden and unexpected return to Seattle was about to trigger a chain of events which completely change my life. Three months from this date my career, my life in San Francisco with my daughter and everything I had known before would be radically altered.

  9. Makes me think of the nasty concierge in French Kiss (Meg Ryan & Kevin Kline) -- her reaction to him is pretty funny. Nice teaser!

  18. Love the Alex Finn teaser. The narrator sounds really funny.
    Also, random question...you're American right? I was just wondering why you use British Commonwealth spelling (like favour)?

  21. I thoroughly enjoyed A Kiss in Time, and loved Beastly. I am using both these books in my classroom with my students who have read the original fairy tales and are now comparing and contrasting those with Flinn's retelling. I also just ordered her new book Cloaked.

    I really am excited too about your writing too. Only trouble is I want more please!
