Teaser Tuesday


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 Teaser: 

Soon grandfather returned, bringing with him Anton Jelinek, and that important person, the coroner. He was a mild, flurried old man, a Civil War veteran, with one sleeve hanging empty. He seemed to find this case very perplexing, and said if it had not been for grandfather he would have sworn out a warrant against Krajinek. (pg 70)
My Antonia by Willa Cather

I cheated and used three sentences.

    I cheat some times too!

    Makes me wonder who died and why the case was so perplexing!

    I have two teasers this week.

    I think this is the most intriguing teaser I have read today. I remember reading this in high school and liking it. I should probably give it another go.

    I cheat all the time! I like to pick my teasers so sometimes I use more than the allowed two. It was a good teaser, a civil war veteren, and a coroner with one arm? How does he perform an autopsy? If you want to wander down my road I’m home.

    I cheat almost every week (including this week!). No worries, your teaser is very interesting, two sentences would not have been enough! :)

    Here's mine, from Hilary Mantel's WOLF HALL.
