Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Should be Reading.

(I despair of ever getting it through anybody's head I am not interested in bookshops, I am interested in what's written in the books. I don't browse in bookshops, I browse in libraries, where you can take a book home and read it, and if you like it you go to a bookshop and buy it.) p.73

  1. Really? I never knew. I browse in bookshops. LOL.

  2. Sounds a bit like semantics to me, but this sounds like a great book! A book about books :-)

  3. That comment perfectly encapsulates my feelings about bookstores and libraries. I can only trust myself in a bookstore if I already know I love the book. Otherwise there would be toppling piles of books everywhere at my house (well, there are anyway!). Great teaser!

    If you'd like, you can check out mine here.

  4. I am a definite bookstore browser! Libraries sort of scare me because the librarians remember you sometimes which creeps me out, especially when they ask me about the books I'm borrowing. I freak out!

  8. I browse in bookshops all the time - why limit yourself to what the library bought and no one else has checked out yet! Good teaser, though.

    My teaser is here.

  9. What a great teaser...sounds like an interesting book. I love browsing bookstores, but do tend to get in trouble if I don't know specific books in mind to buy!

    Here's my teaser.

  14. Oh, I love browsing in bookshops, but her theory makes sense, doesn't it?

  15. I quite often browse at the library, and quite a few times I have read a library book and then had to go and buy the book!

    My teasers this week are here. Yes, there is more than one

  18. I wish I used that technique. I start by buying the books. My teaser is from Legacies by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill.

  19. Great teaser, though complete opposite of myself. If I read the book already, I probably wouldn't bother buying it. It would have to be pretty darn good.

  20. As a writer I feel torn about this passage! But I guess I would be extremely flattered if she actually did go to the bookshop to buy my book...

    Great teaser. Here's mine: http://harrischanningauthor.blogspot.com/

  21. Thank God for Borders, where I can sit and browse through books without the need to buy it if it turned out to be crappy. I'll look for this book in Borders soon...

  22. I browse book shops and only take home the books that I know I want. Otherwise, library it is!

    My teaser this week is from an ARC of Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt.

    Happy reading :)
