So here’s the deal: MizB at Should Be Reading would have us: Teaser Tuesdays
Grab your current read Let the book fall open to a random page Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
There is only one VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: Nospoilers!
Mine for this week is:
“For a second I think I don’t need her help, I can defend myself, but that’s not true. The only time I ever defend myself is in my imagination and by then it’s usually way too late.” p. 26
This is from Maybe a Miracle by Brian Strause.
If you love books and reading half as much as I do, why not join me on Shelfari?

“This is the way it happens, he said, glancing up. Like in dreams, like the way you wished it would happen in life, that you’re going along and you come upon one you love and then you go together.”
This is again from The Heaven of Mercury by Brad Watson.
Probably the last from this book, unless the weather stays bad (when it’s rainy my back and hips require longer and more frequent soaks!)

There is only one VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: *** Do NOT post anything that could spoil the plot of the book!!! *** If your sentences that fall between lines 7 and 12 on the page you turn to give too much away, choose a different page, or a different spot on the page… we don’t want to ruin any surprises for anyone!
Mine for this week is:
“His child-size hands were almost translucent, made Finus shiver a little at the thought of them handling the dead – or him, dead. And within that cartoonish gathering of flesh blinked those deep-set and absurdly pretty eyes, like a movie idol’s, so anomalous as to shock one upon first noticing.”
This is again from The Heaven of Mercury by Brad Watson.
I’ve been pretty busy, so I’m only reading in thew bathtub right now, when I have a long soak. It may take me awhile to get through this one.
