Teaser Tuesdays hosted by Should be Reading and is a book meme that asks you to grab a random teaser quote from the book you are currently reading. Posting spoilers are a no no but anything else is fair game.I have two quotes today as I' reading two books at once (*gasp* a new concept for me but one is not fiction so I can read little bits).
"Lina lived in Quillium Square, over the yard shop run by her Grandmother. When she got to the shop, she burst in the door and cried,' Granny! I'm a messenger!' "

The City of Ember by Heanne DuPrau Page 21
“Bob the builder can’t be a real builder – I have never seen him wolf-whistle at a passing girl or expose his butt –crack; and don’t get me started on Tickle-Me-Elmo. Why that little perv wants to be tickled all the time is beyond me, but I say leave Touch-Me-Up Elmo to hang out with Rugby league players and keep him away from kiddies”.
Survival of the Dumbest by Wil Anderson (Chapter 2 this is an ebook so no page numbers)

Nice teasers. The second one made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI have two more in the City of Embers series - but they are way down in the pile at the moment :)
ReplyDeleteThose were great!! Especially the second one!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she cried a happy cry, a sad cry or if she really cried.
ReplyDeleteThe second teaser was really funny LOL.

ReplyDeleteTuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts
Oh, if you don't mind I am tagging you for the What's on Your Desk Wednesday blog meme! I won't be posting it until midnight though, although I have slimmed down the rules a bit and posted that already- as a guideline. So hopefully it looks more user friendly! :D

I loved City of Ember. Have you seen the movie version? They did a good job of capturing Lina's essential energy and quickness visually.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - I bet you can guess which of those two selections the Bumbles would prefer!
ReplyDeleteHi, just sending along my link for the Wednesday Funnies.
