This week my teaser is from A Change in Altitude by Anita Shreve:
The government had rounded up fifty students at the university, one of them said. The students had been massacred and tossed into a mass grave.

I've been curious about this one. I've never read anything by Anita Shreve, and I thought this one might be a good place to start, although it sounds a little different from her earlier books. Good teaser.
Holy cow! That's teaser that will stick with you. I might have to go see what this book is about now.
OMG, that's an attention getter. I'm going to have to look up this book.
Great teaser! Here's mine.
Oh dear, I have this book on my shelf to read soon. This is my first Anita Shreve so I'll hold off my judgement till I'm done.
uh-oh
That spells big time trouble.
Consider me teased. sounds like a good one.
Here's my teaser
Wow - I have this on my tbr pile and now I want to read it.
I remember that quote. I just finished this the other day. I have yet to write my review. I'm curious as to what you think of it.
Wow, this is a definite addition to the TBR, right up near the top. My teaser is here.
I adore Anita Shreve's works. Great choice. Mine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/10/nine-dragons-teaser-tuesdays.html
Wow, that's quite a teaser. I wonder what they're talking about.
So very sad.

Yikes! Great teaser Jo-Jo!
Hope you are enjoying this one. I was a bit disappointed by it.
Now that is startling. I'm certainly going to have to look into this one.
Anita Shreve is a really good writer. I haven't read this one, but some others. Thanks for the teaser.
I have an award for you here: http://thereadingjourney.blogspot.com/2009/10/two-awards.html

Great tease, I want it now! Yeah, I know I must be morbid!

That definitely grabbed my attention. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one.
Here's my Teaser Tuesday.
Great teaser! I just finished A Change in Altitude myself and loved it. I've got a review and giveaway on my site for you to check out when you are finished. It will be fun to compare our thoughts on the book!

This teaser really creates a sinister feeling. Good choice.
I have read many of Shreve's books, but not this one. What a sad teaser! I will have to get more information on this one.

Here's what I said immediately after reading your teaser. "Whoa."
That was a good one.
That's horrible!I've never read anything by Anita Shreve.
For some reason it made me think of Virginia Tech :-/ Great teaser, though - definitely. Has you thinking, you know?

While Fortune's Rocks and The Weight of Water are my favorite Shreve novels, Sea Glass and Resistance are among my favorites too! I hope she writes another historical novel again soon.
Your teaser certainly is an attention getter. I've not read any of Anita Shreve's books either, so I'll have to check this out.
Here's my teaser...

I tried to read this last month and just couldn't get into it. I am hoping if I give it a shot at another time that it will go better!
Good teaser from it though!
This one has me curious!
