Teaser Tuesday


Hosted by: http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com

* 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!

My Teaser:

'This is the one I won after I sprained my right leg during the heats," her face shone as she sat up, "but I never gave up, did I Kiki?I kept fighting and fighting until I took first place.'
It made no difference whether Nkiru answered or not.

    Very interesting! There's definitely a sense that some history goes far beyond those words. And a complex relationship, it sounds like. Great teaser! (and thanks for coming by my blog!)
