Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The idea is to give everyone a look inside the book you’re reading.
Play along: Grab your current read; Open to a random page; Share two teaser sentences from that page; Share the title and author so that other participants know what you’re reading.
I’m reading non-fiction but the opening is wonderful so that’s what I’m sharing today. It’s a bit longer than usual but that makes it all the more fun.
From Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach:
“To the rocket scientist, you are a problem. You are the most irritating piece of machinery he or she will ever have to deal with. You and your fluctuating metabolism, your puny memory, your frame that comes in a million different configurations. You are unpredictable. You’re inconsistent. You take weeks to fix.” (15)
What are you teasing us with this week?
Ah, nicely put. I’ve heard really good things about Roach and this book in particular- I hope you enjoy it!
My teaser is here.
Sounds like it would be a great read from the teaser. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
here’s my Tuesday Teaser for the week
It sounds like an interesting book! I’ve never heard of it before. Great teaser and enjoy reading it!
My teaser is from Hunger by Michael Grant.
Oh my gosh that’s great. I love clever, witty writing like that…I’ll be checking that one out, and I never read nonfiction haha. 🙂
Here’s mine: The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
It’s a great book. Parts of it are a little gross but fascinating.
