I am almost finished a fantastic novel by Donna Miscolta entitled 'When the de la Cruz Family Danced'.
"Winston looked at them, side by side, dressed in what might have been their Sunday best, had church been a Saturday Night Fever discotheque for aging Filipino men. ... He waited for the two older men to shuffle past him, first Johnny in blue and then lime-sherbet Rey, now with the hat on his head and the sack tucked under an arm." (pg 133)
It's hard to find teasers that do this book justice. Definitely a case of the whole being larger than the sum of its parts. Watch for the review. Have a great day, everyone!
I love the description! This teaser made me LOL--literally!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my TT! And no, THE POISON DIARIES is NOT a vampire book! It's about plants and an apothecary's daughter! I'm so sick of vampires, lol!
lol nice teaser! The cover art on this book is beautiful. : )
ReplyDeleteThis book is going at the top of my TBR list. Such vivid description! Thanks for posting this teaser.

(I figured it out. Blogger doesn't like explorer and I can't switch browsers at work)
Alexis - glad you've got it figured out. Review coming Thursday
ReplyDeleteI know, I had some trouble picking mine. I had never realized how two lines can so slant the whole story before. But you did good, these are great. Thank you. Mine is here http://akweelife.blogspot.com/2011/06/silky-tuesday-teaser.html
