From Teaser Tuesdays
Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
- Please avoid spoilers!
From My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger, the YA novel I’m currently reading (and enjoying very much):
“The French ambassador’s wife is a particular thorn in my side. She’s been attempting to arrange a marriage between me and her evil son Philippe since we were both four years old and playing in the same sandbox on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington.”
**Edit: I had 2 other sentences up, but then I read these 2 on the page where my bookmark was when I opened the book to read. They fit the line requirement, and I really like them…so, I changed it! My first Teaser Tuesday and I’m already cheating…**
Oh I cheat all the time! Welcome to Teaser Tuesdays! (I’ve gone so far as to post my own version of the rules for this weekly event.)
I felt bad at first too but then decided to be upfront about it and not worry about it. I find it makes for better teasers if I handpick them sometimes… And three sentences are often necessary too!
I like this sentence!!!>>< HREF="http://web.me.com/bluestocking_bb" REL="nofollow"> The Bluestocking Guide <>
