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:
He said that his life had begun and ended with two providential event. The first was that the Liberator had carried him in his arms in the village of Turbaco when he was making his ill-fated journey toward death. The other had been finding, despite all the obstacles that destiny interposed, a successor worthy of the company.
Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez (74% Kindle edition – Loc 4481 of 6083)
I love the work of Garcia Marquez, and this teaser made me want to read Love In The Time Of Cholera again… Great choice! Here’s my TT.
One of my friends is enjoying it because I say about the bits I have just read says it’s almost the same as reading it again. Thanks for visiting 🙂

I’ve heard so many wonderful things about this book, but I just couldn’t get into it. After reading your Teaser, I’ll try again! (Maybe it was just my mood at the time.)
My Teaser is from MAJOR PETTIGREW’S LAST STAND.
I finished the book today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the visit 🙂
What a wonderful book to open up to a random page! Marquez’s writing is just wonderful.
It is. I am really enjoying it. When I first heard of this book, I thought “yak” but reading it, there’s a whole nother world in it
Interesting teaser. I probably wouldn’t keep reading though – just not my kind of book! Here’s my Teaser Tuesday!
It isn’t everybody’s cup of tea 🙂 Thanks for coming by
