Teaser Tuesday, October 20

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 this week comes from The Raptureby Liz Jensen:

In the morning we watch the news. The pall of dust is clearing to reveal a choked wasteland desolate as a hundred thousand Ground Zeros, dwarfing anything I have seen or could have imagined, a smoking , smoldering bleakness that stretches for kilometer upon kilometer, with odd pockets of normality on which the sun shines: a playing field, a rind of park, a sparkling lake sprinkeled with painted paddleboats.

What is your teaser this week?
