Teaser Tuesday: Wild Wood by Charles de Lint
July 21, 2009
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. 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!
My teaser sentences this week come from page 94 of The Wild Wood by Charles de Lint:
Most people thought of the country as quiet and she supposed that, relatively speaking, when compared to urban streets, it was true. But when you lived as close ot the forest as she did, you quickly understood that it was never really quiet; there were always frogs trilling, insects cheeping, trees creaking, winds muttering, grass rustling, wolves and coyotes howling, birds choursing, and a hundred other sounds whispering across the landscape with the same busyness as might be found on a city street.
