Sigh, didn't get to post this till after work. How's everybody? Things are slowing down some, while the next big crisis hasn't hit yet, so trying to relax a bit. Yay, I has time to bloghop now. Thanks to everyone who has been reading my teasers ^_^
I went bookstore hopping last Sunday, and found this lovely book. It was beyond my price range but I had to have it... it has a lot of awesome authors in it. Neil Gaiman
, Orson Scott Card
, Ursula LeGuin
, and the author of the story whence today's teaser is taken, Jane Yolen
. Ah, bliss."Just take my children," Papa said. "And if anything goes wrong, cut off my hands and feet and bury me at Mill's Cross, under the stone."
-p. 115, "Mama Gone," by Jane Yolen, from New Magics, an anthology of today's fantasy edited by Patrick Nielsen Hayden
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of 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!
I have only read one book by Jane Yolen, but I really enjoyed the experience.
My teaser is here
I love Jane Yolen - she has some fabulous books out.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Well holy cow that's dramatic. Great teaser :)
Come see what Teaser I chose
Those are some great authors! Big Gaiman fan myself.
I'm reading Banned Books this week!
I also have an International Giveaway - Win Any Book of choice for $15 and read my Teaser at e-Volving Books
I didn't know Yolen did children's books. I've only read the Alta saga...loved it :)
Thanks for commenting on my teaser!
Well that sounds interesting, although I don't know the author. Thanks for visiting me.
