Teaser Tuesdays

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:

"Leonard whirled so that Jack could admire him: his slight rangy form in its cracked leathers, hair braided & ornamented with an array of tiny bones - Jack knew better than to ask about them - hands & cheeks so tattooed, scarified, beaded, bruised, & bedecked with light implants that the press had named him The Illuminated Man. Mirrors hung everywhere from his clothes."

- pg 101, Glimmeringby Elizabeth Hand

I love how Hand is able to mix gothic and sci-fi. I wish she wrote more in that genre.

I was just thinking about Elizabeth Hand today! I don't think I've read this one yet though.
