Should Be Reading - Miz B - hosts this weekly event. We throw out a couple of sentences from our current read (without spoilers, of course) to entice you to read the book.This week my teaser is from Fugitive Pieces by Anne Michaels, page 156:
...my hands remembered the crazed and embossed leathers, corners eroded to board, paperbacks soft from the sea air. And slipped between books, newspaper clippings fragile as mica. When I was young I searched among them for the one book that would teach me everything, just as I would look for one language, just as some would look for one woman's face. There's a Hebrew saying: Hold a book in your hand and you're a pilgrim at the gates of a new city.
It's Tuesday, Where Are You? is hosted by an adventure in reading.
I started out in Biskupin, Poland; was rescued from the Nazis and taken to Zakynthos, Greece. Then we moved to Toronto. I'm now back in Greece on the island of Idhra.

I love this teaser!!
This book sounds very interesting. I love the teaser about holding a book in your hand. I am here
"Fugitive Pieces" has been on my list for a while; I should get to it soon.
This one sounds good. Here is mine
Sounds like you are moving around a lot in this book. I like the Hebrew saying. Worth remembering.
Wow that is an amazing teaser and I haven't heard of this book before. It definitely sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
That sounds really good. I find WWII stories fascinating particularly those about the Jewish people in that time.
My Teaser is here.
