Teaser Tuesday #18

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


MY TEASERS:




"This was all so strange and uncanny that a dreadful fear came upon me, and I was afraid to speak or move. The time seemed interminable as we swept on our way, now in almost complete darkness, for the rolling clouds obscured the moon."

Dracula by Bram Stoker, p. 20

  1. Wow! I've never seen a teaser of such a classic yet. Great one! Thanks for sharing.

    Find ours here. It's not nearly as classic, but the series is 11 years old now as well. :)

  4. I picked this one up earlier this year. I haven't read it yet so it's still sitting on my shelf. I'm saving it for fall.

    Here's mine:
