Teaser Tuesday!!

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should Be Reading  and this is what she has to say about it:
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!

My teaser comes from the book The Leisure Seeker: A Novel The Leisure Seeker: A Novel 

Page 102:


"John lets out a medium belch, then sighs. I scowl at him. The officer leaves with John's license and registration."


I'm really enjoying this book!


From the back of the book:


"In Michael Zadoorian's The Leisure Seeker the Robinas have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now in their eighties, Ella suffers from cancer and John has Alzheimer's. Yearning for one last adventure, the self-proclaimed "down-on-their-luck geezers" kidnap themselves from the adult children and doctors who seem to run their lives and steal away from their home in suburban Detroit on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery. With Ella as his vigilant copilot, John steers their '78 Leisure Seeker RV along the forgotten roads of Route 66 toward Disneyland in search of a past they're having a damned hard time remembering. Yet Ella is determined to prove that,  when it comes to life, you can go back for seconds-even when everyone says you can't. "


 Alzheimer's and driving an RV?? Its got to be funny!

Oh dear. I bet the belch didn't improve matters...great teaser! This book looks really interesting (and I don't often say that about books with older protagonists).

I have a teaser for you, it comes from You Say Tomato, I Say Shutup: A love story


its pretty funny!

"He says, I dreamed that someday I'd meet my own Juliet. I'd marry her and I would love her with the same passion and intensity as Romea"

"She Says I was not the kind of girl of growing up, getting married, and settling down. I never played dress-up wedding..."

This is a really funny book about Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Khans marriage. They are total opposites but somehow remain happily (well mostly) married.

It's a good read
