I found out about Teaser Tuesday from Bleubeard and Elizabeth, who made it sound fun. Here's my teaser:

She reminded herself that his name was Jorge and he had a grandmother who loved him. That seemed impossible; he could have popped from a gliss-wrapped package like the holiday gifts of her childhood, brightly colored and smooth all over. Surely he had not been born in blood and mess like real children.from page 7 of Remnant Population, a science fiction book by Elizabeth Moon. Just 2 sentences is hard, though, and doesn't seem enough to be much of a "teaser". It seems more like an orphan text to me, so I took 3 sentences, which is clearly cheating. It's also not one of my current reads -I read it back in 2005- but it was close at hand. I'm just breaking the rules right and left here!

I've read a couple of Moon's books but they were all co-written with someone else.
ReplyDeletethis is my favorite of her books. i also liked "the speed of dark". she has a space opera series (the "serrano" series) i'm interested in.
DeleteSounds intriguing. I cheated yesterday as well and had 3 sentences. Just needed a bit more :)
ReplyDeletei cheated so bad, i didn't even put my link in the teaser tuesday comment thread. maybe i'll do better at following the rules next time.
DeleteNot familiar with the Teaser Tuesday, but it's a cute way to intro a book. Always looking for ideas on new books to read.
ReplyDeleteteaser tuesday was new to me, too, but i agree that it's a fun way to intro a book. i plan on participating when i can abide by the rules lol.
