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!
- Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
"Should your soldier survive, it may keep the knives as a token of its victory," the ambassador said.Maybe you have get it in context, but I actually found that to be a pretty funny exchange. If you are interested, here is my Old Man's War review.
"Thanks," I said.
"We would not wish to have them back. They would be unclean," the ambassador said.
I get the humor. But I have read and enjoyed the series. I like Scalzi's style. Mine is from The Mane Attraction by Shelly Laurenston. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser from "Eye of the Red Tsar" by Sam Eastland:
"Protection?" laughed the policeman. "For this tramp? What's his name?"
"Pekkala, " replied Kirov.
"Pekkala?" The policeman let go of him as if his hand had clamped down on hot metal. "What do yo mean? The Pekkala?"
Strange teaser.
