I'm back - Teaser Tuesday

Home again after a lovely few days with our daughter and family. Celebrated the youngest grandson's 5th birthday and waved him off to his first day at school yesterday before leaving. The time went so quickly although confronting my google reader this morning was a bit daunting and made me feel as though I've been gone for weeks.

So I thought I'd ease myself back into the blogging gently with a Teaser Tuesday ....

... 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

"Noora yawned again and stared up at the mountains, a disheveled carpet of gleaming old rocks and bright ,young shoots. She took it all in: unruly scrubs with tips bursting into tiny red flowers; fluffy, white dots on stout bushes; bizarre purple clusters that crowned stunted cacti."

(p53)

The Sand Fish by Maha Gargash
