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:
Thunder cracked – worrisome for electronics, but he wasn’t working on his computer this trip. That machine had far, far too much in its storage to be bringing it into Taisigi territory, and he’d sent it on to the capital with his valets and significant items of furniture, the computer itself to be hand carried and guarded every step of the way. The spiral-bound notebook was enough for him, along with a stack a loose-leaf work and printouts, and within the briefcase, a folder of very official papers, vellum with red and black wax seals and carefully preserved ribbons.
– Intruder by C. J. Cherryh
Great teaser! I’ve been meaning to read C.J. Cherryh’s works, I see her name crop up quite a bit when looking up sci-fi novels. Hope you’re enjoying it! =)
she’s really good!
Intriguing title, intriguing teaser- I like! I am not familiar with this one, but it sounds good, happy reading 🙂 Book Savvy Babe’s TT
It is, thanks!
This is an intriguing one!!! (And I love the idea of good ol’ paper and pens! Too often, we take our portable devices with us instead – I know I’d just take my iPad *lol* )
Check out my Top Ten / Teaser Tuesday!
yeah, I know, if I had an iPad I would take it everywhere too
My dear friend,
Never read any of C.J. Cherryh’s work. It does sound very interesting though. Thanks for the post.
it’s really good! I’ve only read some of her work
Interesting contrast in your teaser: a computer along with vellum sealed with wax and tied with ribbons! I like it.
My teaser is from Table for Five.
I liked it! thanks sandra
