I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
One of those fancy new coffee shops opened up, so I decided to give it a whirl. Of course, you have to wait in line forever while they ask if you want an espresso, mocha, cappuccino, latte, or low fat, nonfat, whole milk, or grande, short, tall. On my turn, I ordered coffee. The prepubescent girl behind the counter said, "Like, I don't think we have that."

That teaser is hilarious. I wasn't expecting it after a quick glance at the cover and seeing how serious it looked. Thanks for sharing!
I feel the same way in some coffee shops - don't know what to order. Here's my tease.
I have this book, I just have to read it.

Omigosh -- too funny (and sadly all to true of some of some of today's young people). Snicker...
Thanks for visiting!
So funny! I'm waiting for my copy, can't wait to read it!
Awesome teaser!
LOL. Sounds like Starbucks.
Which is why I don't go into those kinds coffee shops! ;-)
Here is my teaser from Witchgrass: A Pipe Dream by Dave Wilkinson (Page 1):
Most gardeners hate witchgrass. Of all weeds it is one of the most persistent and adaptable. Any small piece of rhizome left in the soil can become an aggressive plant ready to take over the plot. Witchgrass is hard to pull. Roots are deep, and break off easily. Any part left in the ground will grow again. Farmers say the species isn't even good as hay, not as good as timothy or alfalfa. Some call it quickgrass.
Early New England colonists blamed evil people for this garden invader. In the seventeenth century villagers would speak this way:
"The surly woman living alone on her dead husband's estate. She goes into the woods and consorts with the Devil. Signs his book. Fornicates with him. Eats mushrooms. She and the Devil send witchgrass to harass the virtuous and the Godly. Let us hang this witch and seize her rich farm."
Nice teaser. The cover on this one always strikes me.
Yes - been there, done that. Why does ordering coffee have to be so complicated? Excellent teaser!
I have this in my TBR pile. Thanks for a great teaser!
looks like a great book. :) Happy reading
Thanks for coming by my blog today to read my T.T. so I thought I'd return the favor.
Nice choice! I like what you've shared for your teaser and it seems I've been in line at a coffee shop like this one before. It's all relative! :)
That's an amazing tease!! Here's mine:

Great teaser! I'll have to add it to my list of books to be read.
I remember this part and laughed too. The whole book is a riot and can't wait till you get to her "thong" moment.
Enjoy it :)
