TEASER TUESDAYS ask you to:
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! Please avoid spoilers!
My own 2 “Teaser” sentences for today:
“My view of Chrsitianity is such, ” he added, “that I think no man can consistently profess it without throwing the whole weight of his being against the monstrous system of injustice that lies at the foundation of all our society; and, if need be, sacrificing himself in the battle. That is, I mean that I could not be a Christian otherwise, though I have certainly had intercourse with a great many enlightened and Christian poeple who did no such thing, and I confess that the apathy of religious people on this subject, their want of perception of wrongs that filed me with horror, have engendered in me more scepticism thatn any other thing.”
– pg. 289 Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stove
Wow… that’s powerful… um… if I were to do that teaser tuesday thing, it’s go something like…
“In the summer, more belly buttons abound. In the winter, they hide.” – BELLY BUTTON BOOK
Seems all my reading is now relegated to a pre-school level. Annie doesn’t seem to mind though.
