Teaser Tuesdays (Oct. 18): The Joy Luck Club

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:

"'You can tell the IRS to piss up a rope, but you can't stand up to your own mother.'

'Tell her to stop ruining your life. Tell her to shut up.'"

- p. 173, The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
