Tuesday Teaser


Tuesday Teaser is hosted by Should Be Reading and asks you to...
1. Grab your current read.
2. Let the book fall open to a random page.
3. Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from 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!
4. Please avoid spoilers!


They came to a mountain town called "La Rumorosa" - named for the winds that whistled through the canyons - and stopped outside a small house of sand-colored rocks. A thread bare sofa and two living room chairs, springs sprung, sagged in the front yard, facing a fire of mesquite wood.

Very pretty description! I wonder what they are looking for and if they found it here.
