TEASER TUESDAYS is hosted by MizB at Should be Reading; it asks you to:
My teaser for the week:
There was a map folded on the dashboard, but it was fading steadily under the barrage of light; Lilia was supposed to be the navigator but entire states were dissolving into pinkish sepia, the lines of highways fading to grey. The names of certain cities were indistinct now along the fold, and all the borders were vanishing.
This detailed metaphoric description is from Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel, to be published by Unbridled Books on June 2.
What do you think of this teaser? What are you reading now?
I’m reading this one right now too!
Great teaser and beautiful UBB cover (as always)
Loved the cover!
Here is my post
I want to know more. That means your teaser worked for me.
Loved this book. And I remember that paragraph from the book.
Hope you are enjoying it.
Sounds like maps in my car
I’d like to know more about this trip!
What a great teaser. Very visual.
I will be reading this one very soon.
What a great teaser, and I love the cover! I’m reading a few Georgette Heyer books!
Here’s my Teaser! ~ Wendi
That sounds so good. I’m starting this book later this week. My teaser is here
Ahh – gives me an idea for the next time we get lost on a road trip that I have been navigating – blame it on the sun fading the map and not my non-existent sense of direction!
Julie – the pages are flying by for me!
Beth – yes, those Unbridled covers are outstanding (sigh!)
Gautami – popping over to read your Teaser … so glad to see you’re back up and running strong!
Margot – You’ll be rewarded with learning more if/when you read LAST NIGHT … a big theme in the book!
Violet – I am enjoying it; beautiful language … I guess that’s why you could remember that Teaser so readily!
Stacy – my young son leafs thru the book of road maps when he’s bored. Ours probably have juice box spills and Goldfish crumbs on them!
Literary Feline – I’ll check back with you after you’ve read it!
Wendi – I haven’t read any Georgette Heyer, but she’s on my wish list!
Dar – I’ll check out your teaser; glad you’re going to read LAST NIGHT
Bumbles – I’m so with you on that … I have a terrible sense of direction (thank goodness for GPS!)
Sounds like our last drive home to visit the family! Virginia to Texas is one looooong trip. Also sounds like a book to look for. Nice teasers!
I want to know more. That means your teaser worked for me.
I just started reading this book last night and was really taken by her writing style. I love this quote!
I had to run over to Powells and check out the book. Compulsive travel?? Sounds wonderful.
Good tesaer!
I like your new header. Very cute
To all – I put the book aside for a day, then brought it with me on the train to BEA … how could I have put it down at all?!? Wonderful, wonderful; a review I’m looking forward to writing!
