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.
- 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 knew that bridge was a card game, but that was about it. It seemed dull and old-fashioned. Maybe, at one time, bridge might have been some people's idea of fun, but that was before computers and video games.
(Pg 17, The Cardturner by Louis Sachar)

Ooh, I bet that's a good one! I love the cover.
Is this is a guide to playing card game or actual story behind a character talking about life in playing card game?
Kathy - I'm enjoying the book so far. And yes, the cover is awesome, isn't it?
Julia - It's a story, but then the author also did describe the game in details in some parts, which I appreciate since I know nothing about the game.
Your teaser fits nicely with the book title. Here's mine:

They certainly seem to enjoy it a lot when reading historical romances. LOL.
Mine's from Devil May Cry.
Oooh, I haven't seen this cover before. I like it much better than the one I've seen!
My teaser is over here :)
I kind of go along with that opinion. I'm not a Bridge player.
Mine is here
Good teaser, and ever better cover!
I have never played Bridge before - sounds like this book might appeal to my mathsy streak though...
Here's my teaser this week from The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.
Louis Sachar's Holes was amazing, but I've not read this one - must hunt it down in the library!

I know bridge was my Grandmother's idea of fun. She was part of a group that played and did lunch every week. I'd not heard of this book before. Here's my teaser from The Duke of Shadows.
I am laughing! We used to play bridge in college.
Interesting teaser; haven't heard of this one. enjoy
good one! But I really love the cover ;p
My husband's grandmother plays bridge once a week and she is always trying to explain it to us...might have to check out this book!
Here's my teaser.
This one does sound intriguing...

Teaser Tuesday: Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross
Great teaser. Definitely makes me think there's going to be something exciting happening with a bridge game! My teaser is at The Crowded Leaf.

Great teaser and love the cover! This is a new one for me as I've never heard of this book...TBR time!
This teaser sent me back many years too because there wasa time when I played Bridge quite a bit! Boy was it fun when you played with the right people...a couple of bottles of win added to the fun, too!
Thanks, Melody!

Must add it to my wishlist!
Mine's from Devil to Pay, a book I wrote.
new to me. must look it up!

I have that one sitting on my nightstand, but it's got a different cover. I have to say I like that one much, much better. :-D
That teaser pretty much sums up by feelings about bridge.
Interesting teaser and what a great cover.
I think I know three card games total but I don't like to play. My husband and his family has tried to teach me poker a few times but it never clicked.
Here's mine
