Teaser Tuesdays (9.21.10)

MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesday. 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!

 Here’s a tease of what I am currently reading:

As I walked home, the lengthening shadows seemed darker, their origins unknown. I wondered if it was cheating to make the same promise to God for Yee Sunsaeng-nim as I had for my father.


From The Calligrapher’s Daughter by Eugenia Kim, pg. 91.

Please leave a comment with a link to your teaser so I can stop by.

    Sounds like a very lyrical writer. My teaser this week is for a Halloween cozy: howmysterious.com/2010/09/21/teaser-tuesdays-magnolias-moonlight-and-murder/

    The book is an historical novel based loosely on the author's mother's life. It is really good so far and I'm hoping to finish it today.
