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!
This week’s teaser is, again, from Terry Pratchett’s The Light Fantastic (I’m almost finished – really!), p. 157.
Someone who spent his life living rough under the sky knew the value of a good thick book, which ought to outlast at least a season of cooking fires if you were careful how you tore pages out. Many a life had been saved on a snowy night by a handful of sodden kindling and a really dry book.





HA! That’s funny! I love Terry Prachett.
Great teaser!
Here’s mine.
Oh, that sounds sad! Keeping warm by the pages of a book (once read).
My teaser:

I don’t know if this teaser is great because it’s about books, or awful because it’s about burning them. Haha! Mine is up at The Crowded Leaf.
Oh my! I cannot imagine using books in such a manner yet it appears it was necessary?
Interesting teaser! I feel sorry for the book though
I’ve never read any Terry Pratchett before, but maybe I should check it out at the library.
I am re-reading Watership Down by Richard Adams this week. You can find my teaser here.
Nice teaser. Have a great week
I’ve never read any of Pratchett’s books but this is a good teaser!
Here’s my Teaser Tuesday
Terry Pratchett is great. Thanks for the teaser.
Oh my, no way could I burn a book. Good teaser. You got me.
I’m beginning to love Pratchett – I love books that make me laugh out loud!
You should definitely read some Pratchett! Good stuff!
That’s what’s great about this teaser – it’s nothing like it seems! Very tongue-in-cheek, as a lot of Pratchett is.
Read in context, the passage is funny, but the teaser does make it sound sad! Perfect reason to read the book!
I hope I never have to burn the pages of my books to keep warm! Great teaser!
I suppose it’s a good thing – you get culture and heat from the same book! Good teaser.
My teaser is here.
