Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• 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!

My teaser:
"Bilbo rushed along the passage, very angry, and altogether bewildered and bewuthered--this was the most awkward Wednesday he ever remembered. He pulled open the door with a jerk, and they all fell in, one on top of the other. More dwarves, four more!" page 23 from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Great teaser from a great classic tale. This is the first Tolkien book I read, and it led me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is from CONFESSIONS OF A CORPORATE SLUT.
I have never read The Hobbit. Not sure why. I guess it's something I have just never got round to. Maybe one day.
ReplyDeleteOoo! My reading list just gets longer and longer.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Vonnie, I always remember The Hobbit as being a big, long, difficult book! But your teaser makes it seem a little easier.
ReplyDeleteI love Dan Brown
My feelings were the same back when I read in 9th grade. Now as I'm re-reading it, I tell myself, "Why did I think this was long and hard?"
DeleteGood teaser, like the writing! It really seems to move along.

Oh! That's a nice teaser! Glad to know you're reading The Hobbit just in time for the movie. I haven't read it yet, but I love the LOTR movies and Bilbo is so cute! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Teaser Tuesday!
Happy reading!

Great teaser! I'm looking forward to the movie. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI read the hobbit earlier this year and loved it! I can't wait for the movie, although I wish they would've just made one movie instead of breaking it into three movies -__-

I agree, it should only be one movie.
DeleteI think I had to read The Hobbit in high school, didn't like it. Thanks for stopping by my blog this week!
