Random Peeks Into Our Everyday Lives

Teaser Tuesdays #14

 
Teaser Tuesdays
 

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly book 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:

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

Hermes gazed up at the stars. “My dear young cousin, if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the eons, it’s that you can’t give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It doesn’t matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don’t appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet–”

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
(Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)

    I haven’t read book one yet, but that was a great teaser! I forgot to participate this week.

    LOL!!! My husband and son have both read that book and I’m trailing behind them. I’m still on the first book. They both read that very same teaser to me when they came to it. :D

    Great excerpt, though my younger sisters and I definitely get along better the farther apart we live. Thanks for visiting!

    Ha! Great teaser — though sometimes in order to appreciate family, as in my case, it’s best to live hundreds of miles away from them. Heehee!

    Anyway, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
