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!
My teaser:
The smells filled his head, alive and intoxicating; the muddy stink of the hot pools, the perfume of rich rotting earth beneath his paws, the squirrels in the oaks. The scent of squirrel made him remember the taste of hot blood and the way the bones would crack between his teeth.

I’ve been wanting to read this series. Thanks for sharing!
Here is my Teaser!
IT is good 😀 I’ll go take a look 🙂
a really outstanding teaser. Picked well.
Thanks Karen. I was going to choose the next sentence, but that one was quite gruesome lol
Powerful imagery in this short teaser, Al.
Thanks Celestine. It is a very good book. Not sure if you have seen the series
Nope 🙂
This is an animal, isn’t it? Like a wolf or something…
It is. It’s a Dire Wolf. It’s a young lad called Bran. He’s a Worg which means that he can control animals my entering their minds. At this time though, he only sees through their eyes and hears their thoughts.
I really need to get back to reading those!
They are excellent 🙂 I want to get to Red Wedding and beyond
Wow that is an evocative teaser! I haven’t read any George Martin but by the sounds of things this is a man who knows how to write!
Oh yes 🙂 Game of Thrones is a fantastic TV series as well.
I like the sound of that Al. I hope you’re having a great week my friend! 🙂
Thanks Seyi. It is a good book. Having watched the series, it is also easy to fit everything into place as well. I was hoping to be on the fourth book by the time the fourth series starts, but I am only a little way in to the second (58 of 708) and series four starts April 7th. I can’t read that fast 😆 Hope everything is going good for you
You’re right Al but since I’ve been watching the series, I’m kind of lazy to pick up the books. You still have a long way to go! 🙂 Although I’m a fast reader, finding the time to do it is my problem.
The week has been fine except I’ve been bombarded with headaches. I had several deadline in the office that I’ve been putting off but when my editor saw my face, she sent me home. So I took the rest of the week off work to rest.
My warm regards to your children. 🙂
Good idea taking the week off. Headaches do nothing for concentration.
