Teaser Tuesday

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:

Photobucket

“As he rode, he was coming up with a plan. It was the only way he could figure out to stop the nightmare that had become his life.”

A Story of the West by Susan Spence – Page 165 (paperback version)

I will be featuring a review of this novel this Wednesday so check back if you want to find out what I thought!
(This weeks review of Susan Spence's novel will not only be featuring my usual content but extra content as well, including extra author information and more!)

    This is a great idea - I wish I'd seen this at 5 A.M. this morning! LOL. My teaser sentence is from Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay:
    "You could find irony in this, Tai often thought. They might goad and kill each other, even now, if they chanced to arrive at the same time, and only a genuine fool would think the battles in the west were over for good, but the two empires would honour his laying the dead to rest--until there were newer ones." And, if you're interested, I've got a contest going right now on my blog for a copy of the book and the review of the book and an interview with the author will go up later this week. ;D

    Thanks for stopping by Novel Discussions!

    Here's my teaser this week:

    Without drinking coffee or puffing on a cigarette, he starts on new stuff, stuff I haven't heard, stuff I listen to real carefully. Of course, it's all full of more insults, the doctor saying the boy's schizophrenic because his brain is all messed up.
