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!
“One Sunday when I was about twelve I burst through her front door to announce with great fanfare to all of my extended family that my cousin had just gotten her first period. While my three aunts rushed to said cousin’s side to nurse her like Sleeping Beauty’s fairy godmothers, Grandma groped her chest with both hands and ducked into the kitchen.”

Hope Grandma is alright! Not having a heart problem! Interesting tease.
It makes a fun and easy to relate to beginning.
aww. how embarrassing! I remembering being mortified that my mom even told grammy. She still laughs at me because I got so upset.
My teaser this week is from ‘Deep Trouble’ by Mary Connealy.
All these decades later, I too recall being embarrassed.
Love the humour in this… nice teaser.

OMG how embarressing!! I would be mortified…of course this from a girl who thinks her mother started a phone tree when it happened to her *sighs*
Stop on buy for a special Teaser/Giveaway! And while your there winning that book why not win a copy of Bloodlines by Richelle Mead!
Yes, I could have been as well.
Ha-ha! I can just picture that so vividly, because I remember when my younger sister got hers and started screaming because she thought she had internal bleeding!
Love the teaser!
I too thought I was dying.
I love it. Sounds like something one of my cousins would do to me.

Fun way to begin a book.
Made me laugh. Love it.
I am pleased, I found it funny as well.
Reminds me of when I first got mine. I was in school. I didn’t know I’d started. My male teacher said “Vicki, I think you need to go see the nurse”. OMG!
I did as well.
I feel for the cousin. My teaser: Dracula in Love
I know, poor thing.

Poor Grandma, confronted with the facts of life! Although, I must say, I can’t imagine rushing in and announcing such a thing to a group of relatives…
Here’s mine: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/08/teaser-tuesdays_16.html
I agree, it would be a bit alarming.
Awkward!! Great teaser
