Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To play along, just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
- Be careful not to include spoilers!
- Share the title and author, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!
I finally got started on two books that have been on my TBR list for quite awhile. First up is Ticker
by Lisa Mantchev. It had me from the opening sentence:
by Lisa Mantchev. It had me from the opening sentence:A girl with a clockwork heart shouldn't be running late, but I was.
But here are the teasers:
Somewhere deep inside him still dwelled the caring surgeon and gentle man I'd known, but the blood of more than twenty people stained his hands, people he'd kidnapped off the streets of Bazalgate and experimented upon, testing different clockwork ventriculators...
All to save me.

Alec was glad to have a way to support his family that didn't involve dirty manual labor -- that relief was genuine enough. Yet he had his reservations about working for the woman who had single-handedly laid waste his career and plans for the future.
At least for the present.

Ooh, both of those sound good! I'm especially drawn to Ticker though. It sounds so original. Great Teasers! Here's my TT. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThese both look tempting...Ticker is probably my first choice, though.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “ALL DAY AND A NIGHT”
They book look good but I think Ticker (which at first glance I thought said Tickler) is probably more my speed! Adding it to my TBR list. Here is my TT: http://www.readinggrrl.com/2015/01/teaser-tuesday-january-13.html
ReplyDeleteTicker grabbed my attention. Thanks for sharing.

probably not into reading ticker, but did like dancing master on the whole... had some quibbles with accuracy, but storyline good with some surprises... ;) enJoy!

Both of these are good. Tinker is the one I'd like to read the most. That teaser is awesome and just look at that spectacular cover art!
