TEASER TUESDAYS — JAN. 4

TEASIN' MICKEY

 

 

Good morning, and welcome to the first Teaser Tuesday of 2011, hosted, as always, by Should Be Reading.

Here’s how it works:

• 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!

Today I’d like to feature an e-book I’m reading:  Safe Haven, by Nicholas Sparks.

Here’s a tidbit:

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family….

 

Teaser:  A flock of starlings broke from the trees, moving in an almost musical rhythm.  The motion of the rockers was making the porch creak slightly. (Marked at 11%).

 

So far, I’m really enjoying guessing the backstory for this mysterious young woman.

 

What have you found today?  I hope you’ll stop by and tempt me!
