Tuesday Teaser

I thought that since I was doing the "Spring Reading Thing" I would also try to do the "Teaser Tuesday" that Miz B and Kim have been kind enough to introduce me to.

Here is the way it works: you get a sneak peak into what Im reading by viewing 2 sentences from my current book. The deal is you are to let the book fall open and then pick two sentences somewhere between line 7 and 12 on that page.

This week's teaser comes from the book The Book Borrower by Alice Mattison, page 120.

By the way, said Gregory, I know perfectly well what you've been up to all this time, and I think it's truly stupid. Just thought you ought to know.

Currently I am reading Swim To Me by Betsy Carter, so from page 105:

How about if every night, we use one of your girls in full mermaid regalia to deliver the weather report? I know what you're thinking--believe me, we've covered the bases on this--mermaids can't stand up in their tales, right? No problema.

Sorry I know that was three sentences but two is really hard and "No problema" really finished it out. To find out how it is not a problem you will have to pick up a copy.

Teaser Tuesday

Currently I am reading "Handle With Care" By Jodi Picoult. I love this author and was thrilled to start my spring reading off with this book. So here you go, teaser time:

"What did they do, wait at the courthouse to see what was coming up on the docket? Anyone who read this article--and who wouldn't? It was the local paper--would think I was in this for the cash."
Page 215

I think that was three sentences but I really felt you needed all three.

The review will be coming soon.
