Teaser Tuesdays (3)

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!

Here's mine:

"It's very hot to be sitting inside a closed skimmer," Landon said.
"So crack a window and give him a bowl of water," Holloway said. "If he puts a foot on my property, I'm parting his hair with a shotgun."

p 153, Fuzzy Nation, by John Scalzi


Leave a post with a link to your TT, or, if you don't have a blog, post your teaser right in the comments!

    I read the Old Man's War series by Scalzi and loved them. I've never heard of this one, but I'm going to have to read it!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog :-)
