Teaser Tuesday #15


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB from

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!
 
 


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

  1. 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.
    My teaser is from CONFESSIONS OF A CORPORATE SLUT.

  2. I have never read The Hobbit. Not sure why. I guess it's something I have just never got round to. Maybe one day.
    Ooo! My reading list just gets longer and longer.
    Thanks for sharing!

  3. Hi Vonnie, I always remember The Hobbit as being a big, long, difficult book! But your teaser makes it seem a little easier.
    I love Dan Brown

    1. 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?"

  5. 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! ;)

    Thanks for stopping by my Teaser Tuesday!
    Happy reading!

  12. I 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 -__-
