-


Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, the weekly Meme that wants you to add books to your TBR! You can also just share what you are currently reading. We make it very easy to play along, it is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1: Grab your current read
2: Open to a random page
3: 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! Everyone loves Teaser Tuesday.


Just finished a book last night so grabbing my next book The Guncle by Steven Rowley for my teaser:

Each ring screeched in his ear, begging him to do something-anything- yet Patrick remained paralyzed by indecision.

Patrick started to laugh- there was a certain " To The Batmobile " quality to it all-but he was pretty certain if he did laugh it would not really be because anything was funny, it would be a release, the kind that quickly dissolved into tears.

Have you read the Gruncle yet? I can't wait to get it started a bit later today... Leave a link in the comments for me to check out your teaser...

    Interesting opening line - funny, but with a sad twist. Very intriguing. Although this doesn't really sound like my type of book, I would probably read on.

    Thanks for visiting my Top Ten Tuesday post earlier!

Can't Wait Wednesdays: Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo

Can't-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at  Wishful Endings  and gives us a chance to highlight books we are patiently waiting to fill up our TBRs with. I love spooky season, not all the pumpkin spice items they now have that stock the grocery shelves, but the creepy books I can snuggle up with wearing a comfy sweater. Who am I kidding...it is still too warm here to wear a sweater in October. Despite the sweltering 100 degrees weather here on the Oklahoma prairie, I am thinking about all the creepy and thrilling books I can stack my TBR list with, and Summer Sons is really close to the top of my list! SUMMER SONS BY LEE MANDELO Hardcover ,  384 pages Expected publication: September 28th, 2021 by Tordotcom Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAY : BEFORE PITTSBURGH BY KASIE WHITENER

Every Friday Book Beginnings hosted by  Rose City Readers  asks you to grab the book you are reading and share the first sentence or paragraph and then give your feelings on it or anything else that it inspires. Be sure to include the title and the author I started Before Pittsburgh by Kasie Whitener a few days ago, it has been a busy week so the reading is going slow, but I am really enjoying it. It is the second book this month I have read that 9/11 plays a small part in, I suppose because it is the 20 year anniversary next month. It seems mad to me that it happened 20 years ago. It also seems maddening that all the time our soldiers spent over there Afghanistan is right back where they were when we started. " Power hour: one shot of beer every minute for an hour. Six beers in one hour. A toast for every shot. It's juvenile, but it gets you hammered. Tony and I sat on the dorm room floor at Radford University. Erica, a girl Tony knew who graduated the year before us, invited

Sunday Salon- More Hot Weather and More House Reno's

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  Another hot week here in Oklahoma. Once again we have had temps and heat indexes in the triple digits, and it looks like it will continue on into this week. We were lucky enough to receive some rain a few times, however, once the sun came out it WAS HOT. I don't want to be one of those people who start wishing for all things pumpkins, long walks in falling leaves, etc...but at this point, I am. Of course, everything is rather dead here due to the heat so, we might not have many leaves to change and fall LOL. Our garden seems to be loving the heat, we are overrun with tomatoes, and have been eating them with every meal and giving them away We are still working on the dining room. With a hundred-year-old house, and plaster walls and ceilings, and a decent-sized earthquake last year ( fracking causes our earthquakes ) we had a few repairs to make before the actual painting started. The entire ceiling had to be redone, along with several long
