This week, my teaser lines come from Bad Boy, the latest Inspector Banks novel by Peter Robinson. I'm reading the ARC, although the book was actually released in September of last year (yes, I'm running just a little slow in my ARC-reading, as usual). I haven't gotten this far yet, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on at this point in the book, but I think Winsome is a female police detective. This bit comes from page 250 of the published edition (p. 149 of the ARC):Winsome was a secret Doctor Who fan. She would never tell her colleagues at work because they were sure to make fun of her...but she had always dreamed of being the doctor's companion, of traveling the universe through space and time, meeting Shakespeare, battling monsters and egomaniacal madmen, arriving back on earth before she had even left.Yes, I've had that dream, too - although I'm not sure I'd be so enthusiastic about battling monsters and madmen. But I'd definitely love to get my hands on one of those sonic screwdrivers!

ReplyDeleteHere is my Teaser Tuesday: Dead Head by Rosemary Harris
Sounds like a kick a** fun read. Fun teaser.
ReplyDeleteFun teaser, Joy -- though now I'm suddenly in the mood to rewatch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, LOL.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like an interesting character. Can't say I've ever dreamed of Doctor Who, but just recently I dreamt of encountering Data as a library aide!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a sonic screwdriver?

Dr. Who rocks! I'D be his sidekick - kicking monster butt would be awesome! Thanks for the teaser!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this show and it has a huge cult following... I don't know if I could watch it since I get claustrophobic just watching them climb into the booth...
ReplyDeletehmmm maybe I should get the book and watch the show now ;)
Fun teaser! I relate to the Dr. Who fan...only for me it's Star Trek. I want a transporter...and a replicator...and doctors who can fix near anything.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/01/teaser-tuesdays_18.html
I haven't heard about this one, but it sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Winsome, being the doctor's companion would be awesome! Never had that dream before, but now I can't stop thinking about it...
