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:
“The walks in the woods save me. There I’m not invisible by the choice of others. I’m not plain, or boring, or nervous. I’m not judged by the trees, the creek, or the earth” (p. 10).
This is from Skin Deep by E. M. Crane.
Oh this just makes me feel bad for the person. Sounds kind of sad...my teaser is here.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I feel like I read this teaser already but I don't see my comment.
ReplyDeleteI felt sad for the person.

ReplyDeleteOuch, sounds like a hurting person.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote!
ReplyDeleteInteresting teaser. I'm curious about the story behind it now.
ReplyDeleteGood pick of your sentences. Makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to finding solace in nature. Sounds like an interesting book.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know anything about this book, but the Teaser is a good one; beautiful writing!
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody for your comments.
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't think of this quote as being that sad because I can relate to the character's feelings (or at least I felt that way as a kid too).
I will hopefully be reviewing this book soon!
