Today's tease comes from Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.
Here is my teaser:
"The memory of that childhood afternoon had sustained me for years; it was as if -- sick with loneliness for my mother -- I'd imprinted on her like some orphaned animal; when in fact, joke on me, she'd been doped up and knocked lamb-daffy from a head injury ready to throw her arms around the first stranger who'd walked in."
Does that make you want to read more?
My husband read this one and said it is very good. Hope you are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteYes Karen, I am. It is very good!
DeleteNice teaser Cynthia.This is one I would like to read. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! You have a great teaser as well. I already have that one on my TBR list. :)
DeleteGreat teaser! My husband just started reading my copy of The Goldfinch -- so if he likes it, I'm next! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope he likes it. I am sure you will. It's a pretty great book.
Delete"Lamb-daffy" is a term I'm never heard. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features RAINSHADOW ROAD.
Haha, that is pretty great writing right there. I love the term also. The writing is pretty awesome all the way around in this book.
DeleteThis is an excellent teaser! It's definitely got my attention; I particularly like the style of writing :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is great Claudia. I highly recommend it!
DeleteI've heard so many mixed things about this book I don't know what to think. I hope you are enjoying it. The teaser was great. Here is my TT http://newpaperadventures.blogspot.com/2014/11/teaser-tuesday-nov-25.html
ReplyDeleteI agree Heidi. I have seen a lot of reviews and people either love it or hate it. I am glad I decided to go for it because I am really enjoying it. It is just very long for such a heavy book.
DeleteNice teaser, I've heard a lot about this one.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read this one. Thanks for sharing the teaser. Mine is from Solomon's Whisper by Sandra Brannan
ReplyDeleteAwesome teaser! I have this one sitting on my shelf. It sounds amazing though I'll admit I'm a bit intimidated by the size.
ReplyDeleteI understand Anna, Sometimes I am intimidated by large books as well. But even though some parts are a little dry, the book was really good!
