Teaser Tuesday: Quarantine

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

To participate, just do the following:
  • Grab your current read.
  • Open to a random page.
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. (I always cheat and use more than 2!)
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
  • 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 this week is from Quarantine by John Smolens:
"You seem quite well today," he ventured.
"Better than your cousin," she whispered.
"My cousin? Which one?"
"He's--" she began, but hesitated.
"He is ill?"
"He is pickled."
I had to pick that part, because I love it, but I must admit it makes the book seem much more lighthearted than it really is.

  2. Interesting teaser. The cover is really nice too. My teasers this week are from Blazing the Trail by Deborah Cooke and Royal Street by Suzanne Johnson. Happy reading!
