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!
I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird for the very first time in honor of Banned Book Week. My teaser:
I was bored, so I began a letter to Dill. Miss Caroline caught me writing and told me to tell my father to stop teaching me. “Besides,” she said. “We don’t write in the first grade, we print. You won’t learn to write until you’re in the third grade.”

Story Treasury 
I’ve loved ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ since I first read it in school and had a massive argument over it’s brilliance with my English teacher (she wasn’t a fan). It’s one of those books I can just read over and over again. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
This is my teaser for the week: http://myjourneywithdepression.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/teaser-tuesday-the-noonday-demon/
I am not sure if I am fan either, but it’s not as boring as I thought it would be.
I loved this book, too, and I only read it for the first time last year. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
I like your new theme here. I like to change up my themes as well.
Thanks! Yeah, I am always changing themes. LOL
This was literally the first ever book that I read (actually finished). My Mentor, Prof. R.K. Kaul gifted his copy to me and said, “I bet no one can stop reading this book, till finished.” So true!
Thanks for sharing this again.
Oh wow. That’s pretty amazing.
Hi Sonia,
Do you know, I have never read this book!! I was intrigued by your teaser lines enough to check out the full synopsis and this is definitely now on my reading list, as a must read.
I can see how the book will stir the emotions and provoke debate and can see why so may of you seem to have read it for school exams.
Thanks for sharing both the lines and those amazing covers, I think that the bottom right is my favourite.

Hehe I never had to read it for school! Just as well. Might have killed my ability to enjoy it now.
I haven’t read this one yet. Wow, I was surprised how many book cover versions it has. Enjoy the book and thanks for visiting. 😀
So was I! But it is classic, so maybe its not surprising.
Good classic read!
My TT this week is from He Came For Mine, Book Two in The Protector Series

I’ve never seen the movie and I am not really sure I want to. Thanks!
I read this book in high school and I’ve read it a couple of times sense. I don’t think it ever gets old. Here’s Mine
Nice. A lot of people have suggested it.
i love this book. one of the few book i’ve read more than once! i didn’t realize there were so many covers to it!
Trish – My Tease
I didn’t either! LOL
I read that for the first time just a few years ago [even though I’d seen and enjoyed the movie several times before] and loved it.
I have never seen the movie but I am hopeful so far!
Love it! This happened to my sister when we moved schools when she was going into the 2nd grade. She already knew how to write in cursive and they made her stop since they hadn’t learned that yet. I think her handwriting really suffered because of it! 😦 The audio book is really good too – narrated by Sissy Spacek.
Here’s my teaser.
Yeah happened to me too. I think it’s a silly rule.
So many different covers! To Kill a Mockingbird was on my school reading list, I didn’t really like it but it wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever read. 😛
School books always suck! LOL
You know, I’ve never read this book! And I think I should read it soon!
Probably, its worth reading
So sad, do we still discourage children who are learning more quickly than others in their class? She’s asking Scout to take a backward step. It’s a wonderful classic. Glad you chose it.
yeah still. My own grade school school teacher told me not to write in script because we learned how to write script later.
