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 either in the comments below or on your own blog (give a link to your blog so we can check it out!)
- 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 so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week's teaser:
"Humiliated, I turn away from him and look at my Aunty Adaeze who is doing a dance my mother calls the 'funky chicken' and crooning, 'Hey, hey' in time to the music. I envy Aunty Adaeze's lack of self-consciousness; her obvious joy in her own body."
p. 63, Color Blind: A Memoir by Precious Williams
LOL, I don't dance in public for a similar reason.

I've been real busy the last two weeks and have not had a chance to do much reading, but this book is very good!
