Teaser Tuesday


Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Favorite PASTimes found at http://favoritepastimes.blogspot.com/.


It’s that time of week again, everyone, and time for the Tuesday Teaser. Here's the reminder of what this is all about. We are asked to:



  • Grab your current read.

  • Let the book fall open to a random page.

  • Share two teaser sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

  • Share the title of the book that the “teaser” comes from, so people can find the book if they like the teaser.

  • And again remember – avoid spoilers.


THE LOST SYMBOL by Dan Brown (a little more than two sentences):




P r o l o g u e


House of the Temple8 :33 P.M.


The secret is how to die.


Since the beginning of time, the secret had always been how to die. The thirty-four-year-old initiate gazed down at the human skull cradled in his palms. The skull was hollow, like a bowl, filled with bloodred wine.


Drink it, he told himself. You have nothing to fear.


I'll be picking it up today.


The sting operation has caught on tape a fourth ACORN office in illegal activities, this one in California. When will the other media start talking about it? Any bets?


Steve has another YRC orientation to conduct tonight. I expect I'll be reading. :)


Much love,

PK the Bookeemonster

Was released in Oz yesterday as well - I have no desire to get it, didn't like the da vinci code so fairly sure I wouldn't like this one :) My dad was a mason.

When he died a group of /members' came and collected his mason stuff - all very secret squirrel

I've always loved Vatican conspiracy, political intrigue, etc. books even before Da Vinci Code. We're talking a decade or two back. I admit, there's a lot more now from which to choose! A book released not long ago that was good along these lines was THE LAST EMBER by Daniel Levian.
Sadly, I've been restless in the last 24 hours so I haven't really settled down to read it yet.
