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!
The Destiny of Shoes is the 4th short story out of 11 short stories compiled in The Square Persimmon by Takashi Atoda.
My teaser comes from page 74
And yet, because shoes went on the feet, perhaps they could take a person somewhere, be the person willing or not.“The frightening ones are the shoes that want to die”
So far, it has been one great short story to another…I truly enjoy this book
Polychrome Interest 
This sounds interesting-I hope you will tell us more when you can
It is interesting!! So far, I love all the story I have read
Wow, that is intense..I hope I can find it at my library 🙂

@ Dee it might sounds intense but its actually a beautiful story
@ Kaye According to the book…all shoes have thought
@ Laya It is very interesting!! I love every story in this book…Atoda-san is a genius in writing short story
@ Jacintah Be careful…you don’t want to end up with shoes that want to die 😉
Oooo sounds scary!
Great teaser!
This sounds like a fun idea. My shoes would probably be a bit maudlin if I asked them. I wear them and wear them and wear them until they fall apart!
I have two teasers this week!
Good Teaser! The author is new to me – will have to see what the library has.
HERE is my teaser for this week.
@ Michelle but it’s not a scary story at all…it’s a nice story of human relationship.
@ Marg lol me too…I bought a new shoes once the old can no longer be used
@ Audrey He is new to me too…I’ve been trying to read more new author and hoping to find one as great as this
Great teaser! Sounds interesting.

Interesting teaser. Beyond being comfortable, I have never given a thought to shoes. My teaser is from Naamah’s Curse by Jacqueline Carey.
Great teaser! My teaser this week comes from a short story collection too! It’s called The Name of the Nearest River by Alex Kava. This week’s teaser also includes a link to a giveaway of last week’s Tuesday Teaser Title (Damaged by Alex Kava). Here’s the link.

Happy reading. 🙂

Interesting! Reminds me of “the red shoes” fairytale.
Here’s mine: http://www.readheadreviews.com/2010/06/15/teaser-tuesdays-61510/
I’m frightened of shoes with intentions, full stop! 🙂
My teaser’s at http://hampshireflyer.wordpress.com/2010/06/15/teaser-tuesday-17/
@ RJ I think it’s different with ‘red shoes’ … shoes here is a representation of human feeling
@ Hampshireflyer Hehe it’s not a frightening story
Interesting teaser. I’m reading Peppermints in the Parlor.
Interesting as always I still say no fair that you get Tuesday before I do! LOL Hope all is well.
