Teaser Tuesdays - August 31, 2010

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along; you don't have to be a blogger! 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 Teasers:

The blond buxom nurse sensually leaned over and discreetly brushed her large protruding breasts into my face while suturing the wounds on the back of my head. I tried to move my face away from her smothering heavenly breast, but she seemed to have her way with me.

No  .. this is not erotica (which I don't read) .. AND .. it makes me really really sad, because I keep hoping that the book will get better as I go along.  So now, not only will I have to cope with phrasing that reads as though I'm reading an old comic book, I have also been warned that I will have to read phrasing that sounds like letters to the editor of Penthouse ... Note to self: Why did you make that promise to finish reading EVERY book that you've agreed to review?

The only saving grace is that I finished a solid 5 star book, "By Fire, By Water" by Mitchell Kaplan, prior to reading this and that I broke THIS book up with a marathon reading session of "Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" (both finished within 24 hours on Saturday).
