Teaser Tuesday - September 8

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Here's how it works:
-grab your current read
-open to a random page
-share two teaser sentences from somewhere on the page (avoid spoilers!)
-be sure to include the title and author so other TT participants can add the book to their tbr list if they like your teaser
-leave a comment with your link at Should Be Reading

My Teaser:
A visual teaser this week...
-two images instead of two sentences
-click on photo to enlarge!



by Lucy Knisley
A Touchstone Book, by Simon & Schuster
193 pages

I saw this reviewed at Bookbath recently and it went straight to my wish list. With a 40% off coupon from Border's, it was irresistible!

    Oh, this looks and sounds absolutely lovely! Loved your two graphic choices...there's something extra and beautiful you get out of the images...like sound playing along with a picture, you know? Great teaser!

    Here's mine.

    So unique! I loved that wine is considered one of the major food groups. Great, great choice!

    Beth F - Can't wait to see your review! This seems like such a creative book/travel journal.

    Jen - This book seemed to lend itself nicely to a 'visual tease' - lol!

    Susan B. Evans - Thanks...I'll be stopping by soon.

    Gautami - Thank you!

    therubycanary - I'm glad you like it :-)

    Book Psmith - The cover is the first thing that caught my attention, but the inside is just as good...so far.

    Nan - It seems like a very creative travel journal, so far.. and I love the cover.

    Darlene - C'est bon! (that's all the French I know)

    Alitareads - Seeing wine as a major food group definitely made me smile! Thanks for stopping by.

    Dawn - I never thought I could enjoy graphic novels, but I've read several very good ones this year. My favorite has been Ethel & Ernest by Raymond Briggs (of The Snowman fame).

    Brenda - I hope you get a chance to read this one!

    Lisa - Thanks...change is good once in a while.

    What a cool way to do your teaser. I wish I was able to go to the market to purchase food fresh daily.

    Here's my teaser.

    Duh - I kept looking and looking for your verbal Teaser - wondering what those interesting looking images were. Then I realized - they're the Teaser! I'm not at all interested in graphic novels - I think I would just flip right through them and not appreciate the message or something. But I liked your presentation of the genre here.

    Neat teaser; you are very creative. I find those 40% off coupons irresistible also. And there is something waiting for you on my blog, if you'd like it. Just to bring a smile...

    Kim - Isn't that a great cover??

    Catherine - We have a great grocery store about 30 minutes away...freshest produce I've ever seen, a bakery, plus wonderful selections of meat, cheese, and seafood. I wish I could go every day!!

    The Bumbles - That's funny...yup, the pictures are the teaser! Didn't think I'd like graphic novels, but read a few this year that were very good.

    Book Bird Dog - That's true. Food books are getting a lot of attention at the moment, aren't they?

    ds - I'll be right over! Today I got a 30% coupon...not quite as compelling 40, but still makes me wonder what I could buy.
