Teaser Tuesdays
Caitlin is reading GILDA JOYCE: THE GHOST SONATA by Jennifer Allison.
"A she walked onstage, Wendy felt strangely removed--as if she were watching herself from a distance as she approached the full-grand piano shining like black ice on the stage floor, its keys stretched in a wide, gap-toothed smile. Feeling far too aware of the eyes peering down at her from above, she sat down at the piano bench and twisted the creaking knobs to adjust its height." (Page 96)
Meghan is reading HIDDEN VOICES: THE ORPHAN MUSICIANS OF VENICE by Pat Lowery Collins.
"At the risk of letting in damp, frigid air, many of the girls are already hanging out windows to view the festivities in the street. We are so close to the Piazza San Marco, where most of the performances will be, as to get the overflow of musicians and jugglers, the grotesque gnaghe, dressed as women, and a few harlequins on stilts." (Page 94)
Laurie is reading WILL GRAYSON, WILL GRAYSON by John Green and David Levithan.
"Tiny Cooper is splayed out across the thin carpet, using his backpack as a pillow. He's wearing skinny jeans, which look very much like denim sausage casings." (Page 42)
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly event hosted by MizB of ShouldBeReading.

Those skinny jeans have a way of looking like sausage casings.
