My teaser today comes from Cheap Cabernet by Cathie Beck:

~From the back of the Chrysler, she laughed and waved to strangers like she'd just been crowned queen of the parade, wrapped tight in full-blown love and outrageous fun and in a body that, she forgot for the moment, didn't work.

My teaser today comes from The Bottoms by Joe Lansdale:

My teaser today is from Dark Places by Gillian Flynn:

Today's teaser is from In His Sights: A True Story of Love and Obsession by Kate Brennan.

~In the dark, I crawl out of the bedroom and press myself against the wall in the hallway as I move toward the top of the stairs. I'd left a front hall light on, for security, but it will only expose me if I go downstairs; on either side of the door are floor-to-ceiling windows. I can hear the front door being jostled.~ pg. 223

My teaser today is from Far From Home by Anne DeGrace:

~We sit together in a little circle, me on the berm, Melissa on the step of the bus and Michael on the ground at her feet, and they start telling me about helping babies be born, and half the time it's more than I want to know thanks very much, but I listen anyway at first to be polite and then because I've just never heard the like, and I suppose I'm kind of fascinated, you know? The way you get sometimes, reading some of those Enquirer stories. ~pg194

I leaned my head against the window. Two small children leapt in the sand as the water swept over their feet. A canoe circled in the middle of the lake and even from a distance, I heard a sudden burst of laughter from the woman in that canoe. It must be wonderful to live that way, I thought, watching the children once more. ~Pg. 112, Against My Will by Robyn Heirtzler

The September heat would waft up from the concrete sidewalks, the smoggy sky closed in from above. She'd ride as fast as she could for the first few blocks, hurtling the apple core into a corner storm drain as she sped through an intersection. ~ pg 76, Garden Of Dreams by Leslie Gould

Jiselle grabbed Sam's arm, hurrying him away from the doors, which hesitated once and then closed with an electrical finality behind them. "Shit!" someone shouted from inside the store, and there were more shouts following it - curses, cries of dismay, protest, exasperation, disbelief muffled by the glass between the world and Wal-Mart. pg 155, In A Perfect World by Laurel Kasischke

Am I happier? What a question. My shack is cold, I'm working at a coffee shop for just above minimum wage with a small, caustic gay man as my only companion, I've adopted a sad, starving dog, the sky has been relentlessly gray for the past five days.~The Way Life Should Be by Christina Baker Kline

I looked in the mirror and I thought about my mother and my father and their wedding day. I was going to have a good marriage, I promised myself. I was going to have the kind of marriage that my mother didn't have. -pg 173, Who Do You Think You Are? by Alyse Myers.

She is startled out of her thoughts when she sees the two green dots reflected in the light of the candle. She is quiet as she crawls in the direction of the beady, glowing eyes. -The Pearl Diver by Jeff Talarigo, pg. 70

I am still reading I'll Be Watching You...hopefully I can finish this by the weekend and start on another book. :)

Those weren't the only deaths in the city last night, by any means. There had also been a shooting and a knifing-separate incidents-in the Combat Zone, a hit-and-run on the strip where Williamson turned into Highway 14, a confrontation between two teenage gangs in Fitzhenry Park that had left one of the combatants dead and a second shooting outside a club in Upper Foxville.
