Teaser Tuesday: The Guncle by Steven Rowley

-


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!

It Is Monday What Are You Reading??

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and er… add to your groaning TBR pile! This meme by  Kathryn at   The Book Date It has been since October that I have had any fun with all the weekly things I do here on the blog and I am so glad I am back! So let's get right into what I am reading! NIGHT SHIFT BY ALEX FINLAY I really enjoyed Alex Finlay's previous book Every Last Fear, so when I saw Night Shift on Net Galley I knew I would want to read it. I am reading this on my kindle so I am a bit slower at finishing it due to mostly reading it at night when I do not want to bother my husband with lights being on...I mean I have to be nice, he gets up early to go to work. He tells me it doesn't bother him, but I feel like it is a nice thing to do! Here is the summary: It’s New Year’s Eve 1999. Y2K is expected to end

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

Sunday Salon: Diningroom is finished!

 The Sunday Salon is hosted by  Readerbuzz  I was born into the military, both my parents were in, my entire life was spent on military bases around the world, I married into it, and I also raised a boy who grew up to be a military man, so first and foremost I would like to pay a small remembrance to the 13 servicemen and women who lost their lived this past week in Kabul and also the families left behind. It saddens me that these young men and women lost their lives at such a young age. --------------------------------------- We finally finished our dining room. It actually went so much easier than most of the rooms we have done! I know I said I was unsure about the blue, it seemed too bright, but once everything was put back in I loved it. When living in a 100-year-old house there is always the next project, so on to the Butlers pantry which is between the dining room and kitchen. We have ordered wallpaper for it and it will not arrive until September 9th so we have a bit of a breath
