I'm reading The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling.
Here it is:
Barry Fairbrother did not want to go out to dinner. He had endured a thumping headache for most of the weekend and was struggling to make a deadline for the local newspaper.
Also this week is Teaser Tuesdays. Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Open to a random page of your current read and share a teaser sentence from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.
Here's my teaser from page 73:
The mistake ninety-nine percent of humanity made, as far as Fats could see, was being ashamed of what they were; lying about it, trying to be somebody else.What do you think? Have you read it? Do you plan to? Should I keep going? On page 93 now and it is a bit of a struggle to keep all the characters straight and to figure out who I should be rooting for.

I actually like the teaser more than the intro, but I am curious. This is one that has seemed to have received mixed reviews. Enjoy and thanks for participating this week.
That's a really good teaser! I have mixed feeling about wanting to read this one. I've heard both positive and negative reviews.

Oh, I have heard such mixed thoughts on this one...I do like your snippets, too. I'll be watching for your review.

Great teaser. I have been tossing around the idea on reading this book. I think I should.
Here is my TT
i have not read it.. but because of mixed reviews on this one, have not picked it up yet..love the teaser though:)
thanks for visiting
The flow of the language nor the words turn me on. I shall not be reaching for this book.
Thank you for the insight!
I have not read this one yet. There are such differing views about the book that it would have to be personally recommended.
I'm probably the only person left in the world who hasn't read this author. She just doesn't appeal to me.
I've heard about this book but I think I'll skip it after reading the reviews.
