Teaser Tuesday 8.31.10 -Ape House

31 Aug

“Isabel grasped the phone with both hands, her breath coming in short burts.
Her heart was racing so fast she thought she might faint.
She closed her eyes for a moment, and rocked back and forth.

“I’m listening,’ she said.”

- p. 121* of Ape House by Sara Gruen -

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

*Page numbers refer to the ARC and may differ in the final version.
