Teaser Tuesdays (February 24)

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:

“Blood Month. First blood, it tips the world sideways like a first death or a first kiss, sends you with very little control toward something new and inevitable, like Mr. Bede’s sharp blades” (p. 184).

This is from “Blood Month, 1979” by Sandra Guy in My Little Red Book edited by Rachel Kauder Nalebuff.
