Teaser Tuesday: Tricks of the Trade by Laura Anne Gilman, part 2

Sonia Lal27 Comments

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! 

Still reading Tricks of the Trade. Haven’t finished yet because I got distracted by Scholar by L. E. Modesitt. (Scholar was excellent.)

My Teasers:

“I’m allll about the girl pants,” Nick said in a singsong falsetto, picking up the tail end of our conversation. I wasn’t looking at him, but from the solid whap-noise, I was guessing that someone – probably Sharon – had just slapped him upside the head to shut him up before my visitor to our table.

“Ok. Okay.” She wasn’t happy about heading all the way out there, but apparently so long as it didn’t involve having to the leave the City, she could deal with it. Shar was our only born-and-bred New Yorker – I didn’t count, having spent of my teens in Boston – and sometimes that just shone through.

I have to say, I sympathize with Shar. Not that I am a born-and-bred New Yorker. 😉

But who wants to go anywhere without decent public transportation, huh?
