TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two-three sentences from anywhere on the page. Tell us the page number. 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!
I do appreciate your inspiration and leadership, she wanted to say, but I need some more specific advice. I need to know how to keep my child safe in public schools, safe from guns and chipped lead paint and pushers and bullies who have been bullied too much themselves. I need to know how I can walk her straight to the door of her classroom in the morning and still get to work on time and how she can learn enough to get to college when there are thirty-five other children in the room and half of them did not get breakfast. Can we talk, sir, about these things?
Page 113, Run by Ann Patchett (PS…it was so riveting that I had to share more than a few lines for you to get the feel and sort of the context it was used in)

Tawny’s scream sent him running down the hall.

Catherine was a credit card woman. Whatever you spent with her you would be forced to pay back later, and with interest. So Ivan shook his head and backed away from the the purchase.
“Nah, I’m not ready…”
He stopped and looked at her. Ivan knew who she was, and there were no surprises to her. “I just know who you are, and I’m not trying to go there.”

Jacinta sensed his face close to hers and squeezed her her eyes shut tight in expectation. The kiss, however, was not what she’d anticipated. It was unhurried and deliberate. Solomon simply traced the supple curve of her mouth with the tip of his tongue.Then, his lips placed whisper soft kisses to each corner of her mouth before his tongue once again outlined its shape.
Passion’s Furies by AlTonya Washington page 58-59 (I just had to add little spice)
You are going to get a rvw…smiling…
Cilla…you brought it…thanks!
I’m reading a manuscript right now so I really can’t let it fall open, so I’ll go with the book that I just finished.
“The reggae-inspired beat complimented her seductive moves. Whitney was a beast when it came to dancing. She could wind her hips with the best of them and when she dropped down low it made Koran want her even more. All the women in the spot were scantily clad in sexy outfits, but Whitney stood out the most.”
Excerpt from FINDING FOREVER by Keisha Ervin. Page 63.
Ms. Toni’s last blog post..Ms Toni gave 5 stars to: The Ski Mask Way
“Daddy. Daddy,” she shouted. It took her a few seconds to register what she was seeing. Blood seeped through the brown multi-striped shirt he was wearing. As if having an outer body experience, she removed her cell phone and dialed 9-1-1 as she rushed to his side. After explaining her location and the seriousness of the situation, her attention was on her father.
