Tuesday Teaser - The Glister
It’s that time of the week again! (she sang)
The time when we take the book we’re currently reading, let it fall open to a random page, and choose two “teaser” sentences between lines 7 and 12 on that page, and write them out to share them with our readers. We also share the title of the book, so that if the readers find these teasers interesting, they can go find the book too.
So here goes with this week’s book. And as always, no spoilers!
Today’s two sentences:
In her long interview with the first journalist, the one she probably trusted because he was going to tell the story from her point of view, she said she only killed those people because they had abused her. That’s not what the guy said in the newspaper, though.
Those are from page 137 of The Glister , by John Burnside.
And since the book fell to a page well past where I’m currently reading, I don’t have a clue what that’s about. So my teaser sentences have made me intrigued enough to keep reading too. Isn’t this fun?
(This is another of the advance reading copies that Lisa sent me, from Minds Alive on the Shelves, a week or two ago. I’ll be posting a review of it here, shortly after I’m finished, and after I post the review of last week’s Tuesday Teaser, which was also an advance copy that Lisa sent me.)
So now! Go post a link to your teaser here if you like, and be sure to go to Should Be Reading , and post it there as well. Happy reading!
