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!
“The paper made an elegant sound as I unfolded it. How sumptuous it sounded that first time, and how benign.”
~Page 27, The Last War by Ana Menendez

Nice teaser…I love how the author describe the sound of that paper
It sums up how I feel about getting mail the old fashion snail mail. Love stationary and it never feels benign!
Great teaser. We’re going to have to compare our books and keep fingers crossed that it lives up to our expectations.
Have a great read!
Great teaser!! Haven’t heard of this book yet but will definitely now look into it!!

That is a real teaser, very intriguing!
My teaser: The Time Traveler’s Wife
I’m getting a feeling that whatever message is on the paper isn’t good. But I do think that paper sounds sumptuous sometimes – great description! Nice teaser, and thanks for visiting mine!
I love the very idea of paper sounding sumptuous or elegant. Some papers are so well-made and of such high quality that I could imagine this happening. Great choice for a teaser.
Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
I’ve never heard paper described quite like that before. Great teaser!
Wow! This is a wonderful description of the sound of paper! Love it!
Gorgeous description!
