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 "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
Be careful not to include spoilers!
- Share the title and author, too.
Book: White OleanderAuthor: Janet Fitch
Plot context: In this quote, Astrid was asked to try and remember a happy memory from her past.
"I tried to remember, but it was like looking for buried coins in the sand. I kept turning things over, cutting myself on rusty cans, broken beer bottles hidden there, but eventually I found an old coin, brushed it off. I could read the date, the country of origin."

Ah, White Oleander is so amazing. I love it! Janet Fitch is an amazing writer. I loved Paint it Black too.
How is this book? I've heard lots about it, but have never got a chance to look at it.
I'm looking forward to your review - this is a book that has been on my list for ages!
O wow. Sounds painful yet compelling.
Here is my Teaser Tuesday :)
Wonderful teaser! I haven't read this yet, but I loved the movie. I can't wait for your review! :)

I have wanted to read this book for awhile. I must get around to it. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
So glad you are reading this! I loved this book! You chose an awesome quote!
I really like this analogy! (Analogy, right?) :P This seems like an interesting novel.
I read this years ago and thought it was really great. I still think about it from time to time, which is the sign of a really good book.
Glad I found your blog -- I've been hopping around.
