TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- 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!
Here's my teaser for today:
I am walking on buried treasure, I thought, with the grass brushing against my hands and nothing around me but the reach of the long field with the grass blowing and the pine woods at the end; behind me was the house, and far off to my left, hidden by trees and almost out of sight, was the wire fence our father had built to keep people out.
(Pg 52-3 , We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson)

The teaser is quite interesting, Melody. I can't help but wonder why her father wanted to keep people out.

Shirley Jackson is on my hit list for RIP next year. I've never read her, but I know I need to.
