It's Teaser Tuesday, hosted by Should be Reading. Here's the idea:
TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
So here's my teaser, taken from How Far is the Ocean from Here by Amy Sheern.Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. 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!
"The truth of it was that he had asked his parents about his biological mother - you had to say biological, not real - when he'd been a teenager, when he was told what he'd always suspected....If he and Kit were to adopt a child, raise it as their own, like a little foundling, knowing all along that the kid would someday ask about its real parents, to whom it would have some deep, mostly imagined bond - well, it was precisely why they had gone to such great measures to have one themselves." (page 128)

I want to read this book -- it's on my TBR list, already.
But, man... those are LONG sentences! LOL. :P
Thanks for playing!
I haven't heard of this book, but the quote has me curious. As MizB said, it is a long one. :-)
Enjoy your Tuesday!
Wow -- that is long!
Looks like an interesting read.
Wow, Proustian in length--but intriguing. Thanks.
Some lines. It seems like an interesting book!
Check out my teaser
This could be interesting with the book I'm reading...The Shadow and the Night by Chris Walley...here goes...
p99, "There was a heavy silence in the room. Merral, wishing he was elsewhere, plucked up his courage."
Hmm that was an uneventful 2 sentences lol, but a great book.
