Teaser Tuesday - September 8

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Here's how it works:
-grab your current read
-open to a random page
-share two teaser sentences from somewhere on the page (avoid spoilers!)
-be sure to include the title and author so other TT participants can add the book to their tbr list if they like your teaser
-leave a comment with your link at Should Be Reading

My Teaser:
A visual teaser this week...
-two images instead of two sentences
-click on photo to enlarge!



by Lucy Knisley
A Touchstone Book, by Simon & Schuster
193 pages

I saw this reviewed at Bookbath recently and it went straight to my wish list. With a 40% off coupon from Border's, it was irresistible!

  21. What a cool way to do your teaser. I wish I was able to go to the market to purchase food fresh daily.

    Here's my teaser.

  22. Duh - I kept looking and looking for your verbal Teaser - wondering what those interesting looking images were. Then I realized - they're the Teaser! I'm not at all interested in graphic novels - I think I would just flip right through them and not appreciate the message or something. But I liked your presentation of the genre here.

    Here's my Tease

  24. Neat teaser; you are very creative. I find those 40% off coupons irresistible also. And there is something waiting for you on my blog, if you'd like it. Just to bring a smile...

  25. Kim - Isn't that a great cover??

    Catherine - We have a great grocery store about 30 minutes away...freshest produce I've ever seen, a bakery, plus wonderful selections of meat, cheese, and seafood. I wish I could go every day!!

    The Bumbles - That's funny...yup, the pictures are the teaser! Didn't think I'd like graphic novels, but read a few this year that were very good.

    Book Bird Dog - That's true. Food books are getting a lot of attention at the moment, aren't they?

    ds - I'll be right over! Today I got a 30% coupon...not quite as compelling 40, but still makes me wonder what I could buy.

  27. Lisa - It makes me want to go to Paris...I've never been!
