Teaser Tuesday: No One You Know



Today is Tuesday and that means it's time for a teaser! Here's how it works, in case you don't know . . .

  • Grab the book you're currently reading
  • Let it fall open to a random page
  • Choose two teaser sentences to share, being careful not to include any spoilers
  • Name the book you're reading so we know where your teasers came from
This week, my teasers are from NO ONE YOU KNOW by Michelle Richmond

It was hatred I felt for him, and when hatred goes deep enough, no affection can compare. For love to take hold there must be available space in the mind and heart; I was so eaten up with anger toward him, I could not make room. ~ page 66

This is a book I've been wanting to read for some time. I'm less than 100 pages in, but already I feel completely drawn into the story. I'm glad I'm finally making the time to read it. I also have on my shelf THE YEAR OF FOG, also by Richmond, and plan to read it as well.

Wow, that sounds like some pretty intense emotions there. I haven't read anything by Richmond yet, but her books have definitely caught my eye.

Good teaser; strong emotion lends itself well to conflict.

This looks so good. I have seen it on a couple blogs and every time I think about it a bit more. I think you may be the deciding factor here... I am going to need to read this. :)
