Teaser Tuesday (1)

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 Teasers:

From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone -

"Unfortunately, the teachers seemed to be thinking along the same lines as Hermione.  They piled so much homework on them that the Easter holidays weren't nearly as much fun as the Christmas ones."  pg. 229

From Blood Red Road -

"The faded sign creaks on its hinges.  The painted head of a man glares down at us, a bloody hole where one of his eyes oughta be." pg. 304

From XVI -

"Even if we never ever talked about Sal, just being around her would make me feel so much closer to normal. Closer to the way I'd been before my life had been turned upside down."  pg. 189

From One Good Dog -

"I was good in the pit, but I knew that there would always be the day when I'd be beaten - either by another fellow or by my boys.  Beaten as punishment for being beaten." pg. 26
