It's basically literary fiction, about this guy looking back on his life as he decides whether he wants to kill himself (I'm making it sound too morbid lol).
Disclaimer time: not only did I receive a copy of this book for free, the author is also one of my writer friends, and in fact, helped me copy-edit The Nutcracker King (the novella I published just a little than a week ago), reducing it of grammatical errors.
(By the way, if you're wondering how this will affect my reviews - the short answer is that it shouldn't. I may hold back from posting reviews books in the fairytale retelling genre I don't like though, although that's a very rare occurrence. So odds are business as usual.)
My teaser:
What is your Teaser this week?
Adam wanted her to grow up knowing who her birth mother was, and that despite everything Jenny loved her.
Beth agreed with him about everything except the timing.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Great teaser! This sounds like an interesting book, even if it is a bit morbid! Hope you enjoy it! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I'm more than halfway through, and I'm really enjoying it. It's one of those slow, leisurely reads(:
DeleteSounds like an unusual story. I hope it isn't too sad.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features Beach Trip.
I love the cover of this book, and it sounds really interesting--like it could be very thought provoking and an emotional read. I enjoyed the teaser you shared. Timing really can be everything for news like that. I'm definitely curious to know more. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on publishing your own novella!
Thanks! I'm really enjoying the book so far (and I hope it's not cause I'm biased :p). I'm liking how it's not just about one person's life, but one family's life.
