Teaser Tuesdays and It's Tuesday...Where Are You?


TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!

She looks down at her stomach, searching to find a likely place, and makes the first cut, waiting for the moment when the pain of the razor erases everything else. It's not happening as fast as it usually does, and her breath comes in little gasps as the razor sinks deeper and deeper into her flesh.
---Willow by Julia Hoban

I'm hurting myself the only way I know how and that's by cutting open my skin to allow it all to come out. I wish I could cry but I can't. I don't allow myself those feelings of sorrow...I don't deserve to feel, why you ask? Because I am a murderer.....I killed my parents.

  1. Wow that sounds pretty dark. While I have no doubt this would be fascinating, it is probably a little to serious for me. Is it based on a true story?

    My teaser is here

  2. Sounds like this one could be hard to read too! I have read a couple of "heavy" books lately. Will be looking forward to your review.

  17. Hi Staci!

    I liked your Teaser - and the Where are You gives a bit more insight into WHY someone would be a cutter - I always wondered how people could do that to themselves - but I suppose if your mind doesn't allow for any other emotional releases it will find a way to get it all out. *shivers*
