Michelle8 Comments

“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 Tuesday: Finny – 7.13.10

Michelle2 Comments

In honor of its publication day, today’s teaser is from Finny by Justin Kramon.

“Then Stanley would say, ‘Einstein,” in the way other people would say Amen at the end of prayers. The name was enough to command respect, dropped like a punctuation mark at the end of whatever point he was making.”

“I do not know how it feels to be thrown into a lake of fire. I am sure it isn’t pleasant. But I can say with all certainty that walking the length of a ballroom with a book upon one’s head and a back-board strapped to one’s back while imposioned in a tight corset, layers or petticoats, and shoes that pinch is a form of torture even Mr. Alighieri would find too hideous to document in his Inferno”

[I cheated again this week and used more than 2 sentences.]

“The first thing Betsy and Tacy and Tib did after they were ten years old was to fall in love.  They all fell in love at once…with the same person too.”

– Page 27 of Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill by Maud Hart Lovelace –

PS – The 12-year old boy in me (?!) wanted to put the passage a few pages earlier about Betsy being “pounded” for her birthday.  Inappropriate? Maybe.
