Teaser Tuesday - 5/5/09

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 teaser today is from Chasing Boys by Karen Tayleur

I miss my dad.  I suddenly want to see his face, climb into his arms, and have him hold me steady so I won't fall. (p. 146)

Oh, gosh, Shelley, you're going to make me cry. This is exactly how I have been feeling the past 2 weeks. I am starting to cry a lot more. I guess it is just the stage of grief I am in. I have been missing him a lot lately. These were two beautiful sentences to share. Thank you!
