TEASER TUESDAYS is hosted by MizB at Should be Reading; I’ve modified this version to allow more than two sentences from anywhere on the page:
.
.
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us a “teaser” sentences from that page. Please share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
My teaser for this week:
He lay on the bed in the guesthouse and stared at the water spots on the ceiling. Now that adrenaline was no longer suffusing his brain, now that he was calm enough to think, he wondered exactly what had happened. He didn’t remember anything clearly beyond the point at which he’d entered [the] house. After that it was a clouded memory, like a river laden with swirling silt.
This is from the novel Wife of the Gods by Kwei Quartey, which I’m reading for a blog tour with TLC Book Tours next week. I’m loving this book, which is set in Ghana; the author has done a wonderful job of wrapping a murder mystery inside the culture of contemporary Africa.
Would you share a few teaser sentences from your current read? Where/when is it set?
This sounds like a wonderful book!
Tuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts
I just started it for a tour stop on Friday! So far I love it.
I’m looking forward to hearing more about this book.

Look forward to your review. The one review I read so far was only so-so.
I’m loving this book, too, and got to meet the author over the weekend! He’s very nice!
gautami – yes, it’s very good!
Beth F – I’ve passed it to J to read; I think he’ll enjoy it, too
Margot – it’s a good mystery; and not full of graphic violence
Denise – I’ll check out your teaser
Stacy – I haven’t read any reviews, but mine will be very positive!
Amy – oh, lucky you! I checked his website, but I’m on the wrong coast for his bookstore appearances
Great teaser!!

I think this book sounds fantastic, and can’t wait to hear what you think of it. Great teaser!
Good teaser. It sounds like an interesting book. I love mysteries, and the setting seem like it would make this one stand out.
