Teaser Tuesdays (September 16)

Should Be Reading hosts the Teaser Tuesdays weekly event.

My modified rules are as follows:

Grab your current read. Pick two or three “teaser” sentences more or less at random from the book, anywhere on the page. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your teaser from… that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given! (Please avoid spoilers!) (Read the official Teaser Tuesday rules.)

My teaser:

“I saw blurs of motion in the forest. These may have been in my imagination, but nevertheless, to scare predation away, I belted out an old Joplin tune about acquisition. I sang at the top of my lungs in a false Texan accent and it came out better than I anticipated” (pp. 97-98).

This is from The Nettle Spinner by Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer.
