Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, the weekly Meme that wants you to add books to your TBR, or just share what you are currently reading. It is very easy to play along:
• 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! Everyone loves Teaser Tuesday.
“Is this how you repay my goodness–with badness?” cried the boy. “Of course,” said the crocodile out of the corner of his mouth. “That is the way of the world.” – Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley
Someone seems to be in for a rude reality-check. Hope you enjoy!
I’m teasing from The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee.
Great teaser. Have to admit I haven’t heard of the book but it sounds interesting.
My teaser this week is from Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton:

Sounds intriguing! Poor kid, because the croc is right!
Here’s my teaser from Vigilante by Kady Cross! Happy reading!
The quote reminds me of the fable about the scorpion and the frog. I vaguely remember reading Roots many many years ago, after seeing the mini-series. I hope you are enjoying the book!
Here’s mine this week from Facebook group
Sorry! My computer is giving me trouble. The link takes you to the right place, but I was in the process of correcting the name to The Handmaid’s Tale before it decided to post before I had a chance to correct it. Ugh. Facebook has nothing to do with it.
A talking crocodile? Wish my pets could talk, especially when they aren’t feeling well! We have 6 this week: http://ourstack.blogspot.com/2017/01/tuesday-teasers.html
Sad, but true!
Here’s mine:

That’s such a great book. Be sure to see the awesome mini-series too. I think there’s a newish one, but I loved the original.
I’m playing today at Beth Fish Reads.
Interesting, and sadly feels true.
My teaser is from In the Cities of Coin and Spice by Catherynne M. Valente
Intriguing teaser! Hope you enjoy the rest!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
I liked the teaser! I’ll note it down. Here my TT for the week:

It’s been years since I’ve read Roots. I think it’s about due for a re-read! This week I’m featuring my current re-read:

Good teaser. My Teaser is from First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones.
Oh I like this! Thanks for sharing.
Here’s the teaser at Bookmunchies (:
Good quote!
Mine this week is from Gone Girl: https://wp.me/p3Nz8P-1ca
Great teaser! My YA teaser this week is from a soon to be released YA thriller – The Cruelty by Scott Bergstrom. Happy reading!
My teaser on my adult blog this week comes from A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong. Happy reading!
Great choice. I watched the mini series but never did get to the book. Sadly, the quote is sometimes true.
My TT from The Dog
I too watched the movie but never read the book.
sherry @ fundinmental My TT
HA! Sometimes it seems so.

I loved Roots! Here’s mine: “PRETTY LITTLE WORLD”
The crocodile is kind of rude.
Here’s my teaser for this week.
This definitely seems like a morality tale. I wonder what the boy did for the Croc and why he doesn’t want to return the favor? Poor kid, life lessons… My TT is from Kingdom’s End.
Interesting teaser! Poor kid is getting ripped off, haha.
My teaser this week is from Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi: https://kourtnireads.wordpress.com/2017/01/31/teaser-tuesday-13117/
Loved the book and series.

I love these fables. Here’s Mine
That’s a really strong teaser – I recall reading this one a long time ago and loving it, though found it very shocking in places. I hope you enjoy it.
Sure seems like that’s the case all too often, doesn’t it?
