Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at 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!
I am currently reading two books so I am going to share teasers from both of them.
My teasers:
Jane Slayre by Charlotte Bronte and Sherri Browning Erwin
p. 174
"I thought of the many Christmases I had been left out and left alone at Gateshead, and well for it considering how the Reeds preferred to celebrate: by eating all their friends. Having visitors was no holiday for me."
Jane Slayre combines the original text of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte with the paranormal as our heroine Jane Slayre does her best to rid the world of vampyres, zombies, and werewolves. I didn't think I would like this but the author does a really good job with the novel so it has the same tone as Jane Eyre with a little bit of humor thrown in.
The Anonymous Bride by Vickie McDonough
p.161-162
"Shoot, three brides coming to marry one man was probably the hottest news they had all year. No wonder they were curious."
Luke Davis finds himself in a quandary when his cousins decide he needs to get married and take it upon themselves to place an ad for mail order brides. What will he do when three ladies show up claiming he promised to marry them when he still can't get over Rachel, the only woman he's ever loved?
All of these new books that are changing the classics into paranormals look funny. But I'm afraid that they'll be too corny, so I'm afraid to pick them up. Here's my TT.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of classics into vampire slayers and more.. I so wanna read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith I can't wait to read your review. Here is my

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my Teaser Tuesday :)
MMMMM....I don't know how I feel about this book. I do like the cover. A classic turned into a kick ass book! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try one of those..
Great teasers!
Jane Slayre sounds interesting. I'll keep me eye out for your review!
ReplyDeleteGreat teasers! The Anonymous Bride sounds interesting, but when I saw the title Jane Slayre, I started laughing! I don't think I can read that :)
ReplyDeleteJane Slayre looks pretty interesting. Here's mine: http://onlysexybooksallowed.blogspot.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesday-1.html
ReplyDeleteIntriguing teasers, I do not think I would be fond of eating visitors either. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesdays-alexandra-gone_13.html

Those are both interesting teasers! Not sure Jane Slayre is one I'd think about reading (or even opening), but The Anonymous Bride sounds like a fun read.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser.
Great teaser! Did you read Pride & Prejudice & Zombies? Here is mine @ Silly Little Game Called Life:)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could handle someone tampering with the lovely Jane Eyre text, but the twist sure does sound fun. Glad you're enjoying it!
