Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB @ A Daily Rhythm. 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 and author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Teaser Tuesday #57
Today, my teaser is from Very in Pieces, by Megan Frazer Blackmore, scheduled for release on September 29th by HarperTeen.
Very Sales-Woodruff is done being a good girl. Done being the only responsible one in a family that’s unraveling. Done being the obliging girlfriend in a relationship that’s sinking. Done saying no to what she wants—like Dominic, her rebellious classmate.
With her mom’s drinking, her dad’s extended absences from home, and her younger sister, Ramona, running wild, the path Very has always seen for herself doesn’t seem to matter anymore. At the same time, Very’s grandmother, a poet known less for her work and more for her exploits with the likes of Andy Warhol and Arthur Miller, is slipping away.
If everything else can fall to pieces, why can’t she?
My Very in Pieces Teaser:
She’s my sister, my own flesh and blood so I shouldn’t want to kill her, and yet I do. Is there a name for that? Patricide. Matricide. Fratricide. Sororicide? It sounds dumb, like a horror movie about a bunch of blond, buxom sorority sisters chasing each other around with knives. Which, come to think of it, would probably make bajillions of dollars.
What’s your teaser today? Please share – it’s not as if a few more books on my TBR mountain will make that big of a difference 😉
About Linda @ (un)Conventional Bookworms
Linda is an English as foreign language teacher and has a Master's degree in English Language and Literature. She's an avid reader, blogger, compulsive one-clicker and a genre omnivore. Ever since she learnt how to read she has been seen with a book or two in her hands everywhere she goes.
Very curious as why she would feel that way. I get we all do with our siblings at some point, but she sounds more literal. Pulled me in!
This is from the very beginning of the story, so I don’t know yet whether she’s literal or not… we shall see. Thanks for stopping by Freda 🙂
I wonder what could make her feel that way?
Here is mine

I haven’t gotten much further than that, but the sister seems to be very aloof and off-putting… Thanks for stopping by Nadene 🙂
Scary, because I can’t tell if she’s kidding or deadly serious. But yet hilarious too what with that image in my head now!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Great teaser! I love Very’s voice! It sounds like a really good read! Cheers!
oh wonderful teaser you have here! Gave me the giggles!!
Oh, I love the sound of that. This one is going onto my tbr. Thanks so much for sharing!
I hope it’s all as good as that teaser?!
That type of movie probably would make lots of money. LOL What a fun teaser–although I can feel her frustration.
Thank you for sharing!

I know there were times when I felt that way about my sibling growing up. Not often, but sometimes. Interesting teaser.
Now you have definitely piqued my curiosity…thanks for sharing. And thanks for visiting my blog.
Sounds like this could be funny.
