This week my teaser lines come from The Small Hand, a novella by Susan Hill. It's been published in the same volume with another of her short works, Dolly. She writes such lovely, spooky tales and I always enjoy them. But this snippet isn't scary -- just the narrator ruminating on his book buying habits. Something I could really identify with.
My resolution every New Year is to halve the number of books I have and every year I fail to keep it. For every dozen I sell or give away, I buy twenty more. (Chapter 2/Loc.183)

Very true!
ReplyDeleteI am going to check out Susan Hill. I have been in the mood for a little something spooky and don't want to re-read any of the Shirley Jackson stuff. Love e-readers so you can actually preview a book and not have to buy it if you don't like it. Plan on visiting the library on a more regular basis as well because I can so identify with your teaser!
