Teaser about a Girl Named September

The Leopard of Little Breezes yawned up and further off from the rooftops of Omaha, Nebraska, to which September did not even wave good-bye. One ought not to judge her. All children are heartless. They have not grown a heart yet, which is why they can climb tall trees and say shocking things and leap so very high that grown-up hearts flutter to terror. Hearts weigh quite a lot. That is why it takes so long to grow one. (Tuesday Teaser from pg. 4 of The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente - ARC)...

Teaser from The Red Pyramid

I wouldn't have thought it possible so many scorpions existed in the world, much less in Manhattan. The glowing circle round us seemed like insignificant protection against the millions of arachnids crawling over one another, many layers deep, and the woman in brown, who was even more horrible. From a distance she looked all right, but as she got closer I saw that Serqet's pale skin glistened like an insect shell. (pg. 141, The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan) I borrowed this one from Amber and am finally going to start it today. Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along.

Teaser from The Pig Did It by Joseph Caldwell

Lolly McKeever stood on the far side of the bed and looked down at the skeleton that lay stretched out before her. After a pleased guffaw, she slapped her hands onto her chest. "For the sake of Jesus and Mary too!" Then she laughed and put one hand on the shoulder of the skeleton's coat and let it rest there. (32%, The Pig Did It by Joseph Caldwell) I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one yet, but I am interested to see where the story goes. Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Teaser from Caught by Harlan Coben

"Am I missing something?" she asked. "Like I said before." Grayson tossed the cigarette and never broke stride. "You don't have a clue."

Teaser from The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie

"What fun it will be, responded Tuppence. "Marriage is called all sorts of things, a haven, and a refuge, and a crowning glory, and a state of bondage, and lots more. But do you know what I think it is?" "What?" "A sport!" "And a damned good sport too," said Tommy. (from The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie) Okay, so it's more of a quote than a teaser really, since it has nothing to do with the actual mystery. I liked it though. Our marriage is fun a lot of the time. Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. The rules are easy and I only cheated a little.
