Teaser Tuesday 07 July 09

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)

  6. I wonder if she cried a happy cry, a sad cry or if she really cried.

    The second teaser was really funny LOL.

  11. 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

  12. 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.
