TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
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!
Please avoid spoilers!
“They’re fourteen, and they’re twins, Greg and Marsha. I believe they are relatives of the devil.”
–Joy School by Elizabeth Berg, page 21
I’m loving this book so far! Grab your book and leavea comment 🙂
Well, that could be said of all fourteen-year-olds, right? Nice teasers.
I’m pretty sure it could!
I don’t know what is today, but everyone’s teasers — including yours — are making me laugh. That’s a good thing, right?
There are lots of good ones today.
I hope that’s ironic! Nice teaser.
Greg and Marsha are not nice kids 🙂
Ha ha! The author must be a “Brady Bunch” fan, though I believe that Greg and Marsha were insanely good…
I know! She had me hooked at Greg and Marsha and then she made me laugh out loud 🙂
And what’s this book all about? Good teaser!
Here is mine:

So it is a comedy then??
Actually, no. I would call it a heartfelt coming of age story. I think that’s why that line made me laugh. It was unexpected.
I just love Elizabeth Berg!
Me too. I’ve only read a handful, but I’m always sucked right in.
lol…love your teaser
Now I am intrigued as well! I’ve only read one Elizabeth Berg which was so-so, but this really sounds intriguing 😉
Here’s mine, but you already saw that 🙂

I really enjoy Elizabeth Berg. I’ve had this on my shelf for awhile and now I’m mad that it took me so long to read it 🙂
that is a great teaser. i am glad i am not the only one that thought of The Brady Bunch
It’s always Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
Very funny! Teenagers!!!lol
This book bringing back the awkwardness of my teen years. Scary!
Haha, I agree! But I don’t think they’re relatives – they just have to be the devil! Fun teaser! Even the title sounds impossible – what joy is school? j/k 😉

I loved school! But I would never go back 🙂
Looks interesting. The names though do remind me of the brady bunch. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog
That’s hilarious. A real kicker of a final sentence, really perfect.
Here’s my own TT.
Another Berg fan I see. I haven’t gotten to her yet but it looks like I will enjoy her immensely – thanks for the super funny Teaser.
I’ve enjoyed those of hers I’ve read. Review will be up tomorrow.
LOL – I immediately thought of the Brady Bunch! Thanks for the teaser!
Here’s my Teaser! ~ Wendi
Good teaser – I have close relatives that I think may be a relative of the devil too 🙂
That’s funny! 🙂
HAHAHAHAHA! I think I might have been related to them when I was 14! Thank goodness I outgrew it.
