Teaser Tuesday:
MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:
*Grab your current read.*Open to a random page.
*Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser.
This is from ‘The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate’ by Jacqueline Kelly.
“The corpse lay in state for another five minutes and then, without warning or ceremony, lurched to his feet and casually strolled off in search of his own meal.
This scene played night after night, all summer long. Neither I nor the adversaries ever fatigued of it. How satisfying to have a bloodless war in which each side was equally convinced of its own triumph.”
Wow! That is an awesome teaser! Sounds very zombie-ish (which I'm totally into!).
Thanks for sharing!
The teaser is very nice 🙂

Dracula is fantastic! As is Pride and Prejudice. It looks like you're all set for winter reading 🙂
Tuck Everlasting was one of my favorite childhood books. I hope you love it!
I too have Hugo and the Hunger Games on my TBR list. That thing never seems to get any smaller, does it?
