Tuesday Teaser

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!

Still reading The Witch Doctor's Wifeby Tamar Myers. I'm almost to the end.

So my teaser is from page 107-

"Who carries the water, Mamu? Is that to be my job?"

"No, it is no one's job. For there is a faucet here too, similar to the one in the kitchen.  We fill this -uh, I shall call it a pot- with water, and then we sit in it and wash with soap. That is how we bathe."

Ok its more than 2 sentences but I HAD to add the whole paragraph! 

So whats your teaser??

vote it up!

My teaser comes from the book The Witch Doctor's Wife by Tamar Myers:

"In addition to the mush, cassava greens, and palm-oil gravy, there were grubs. Wonderful,fat, juicy grubs. "

Sounds so gross!!  But I just started it and was hooked from the beginning. 

Whats your teaser??

What am I reading ? This week its a book called Musical Chairs by Jen Knox - From Amazon:

Product Description

Musical Chairs explores one family's history of mental health diagnoses and searches to define the cusp between a '90s working-class childhood and the trouble of adapting to a comfortable life in the suburbs. In order to understand her restlessness, Jennifer reflects on years of strip-dancing, alcoholism, and estrangement. Inspired by the least likely source, the family she left behind, Jennifer struggles towards reconciliation. This story is about identity, class, family ties, and the elusive nature of mental illness.

After that  its The Witch Doctor's Wife by Tamar Myers - this one is an Early Reviewer from Library Thing.

Thats all for now! Hope you all have a great week.

Best regards,
