Check out Teaser Tuesdays from Should Be Reading. TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
This week my teaser comes from The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood:
Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub you'd be boiled to death before you knew it. There were stories in the newspapers of course, corpses in ditches or the woods, bludgeoned to death or mutilated, interfered with, as they used to say, but they were about other women and the men who did such things were other men.

Great teaser! This book has been on my wishlist forever. I am going to have to try harder to find a copy. Mine is from The God of the Hive by Laurie R. King. Happy reading!
Great teaser! Sounds like a good read!
Here is my Teaser Tuesday: The Tale of Halcyon Crane!
I loved this one when I read it years ago. But it's the only one of Atwood's books I've ever been able to finish. Great teaser!
Here’s my teaser from Remarkable Creatures.
Good teaser. I read this one back in high school and it's stuck with me. not sure if I would feel the same if I read it now, though.
The take over started slowly so no one noticed it. That's why we must be involved with life and the government.
Awesome teaser! And I am enjoying this book also.
Wonderful book. Mine's from Avenue of the Dead by Evelyn Anthony.
I'm doing the read-along, too, and this was exactly the quote that jumped out at me as well!! I love this book!!
I've still not read any of Atwood's work not sure why though. Great teaser! Have a good week and happy reading.
I really need to try an Atwood book...looking forward to your review. Love the teaser!
