I took the day "off" yesterday (it was my birthday and I spent it at the spa with my sister getting our first facials- it was so relaxing!) which means that Teaser Tuesday is technically Teaser Wednesday. Enjoy, and don't forget to leave a teaser from your current read for us in the comments below!
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!
Shanda's Teaser:
"First, we learn that Ishmael had five daughters who were of marriageable age (see 1 nephi 7:6). Second, there was no murmuring like there was on the first journey to retrieve the brass plates. Apparently, bringing back a family full of eligible maidens was much more appealing to the sons of Lehi than imploring Laban for the brass plates (see 1 nephi 7:1–4)."

Sheila's Teaser:
"Yes child, what is the matter? You look distressed," said Suor Annunziata with concern etched on her forehead.
"I'm fine, but I need to ask you something important to me. Were you at the orphanage when I was born there?"
"I'm fine, but I need to ask you something important to me. Were you at the orphanage when I was born there?"
Suor Annunziatia's face lost it's look of concern and became shadowed. "It was a long time ago cara. What did Madre Maria tell you?"
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. there may not even be a record of my birth parent's names in the file. Do you remember who they were? Do you know anything about my past that can help me find them?"

Hillary's Teaser:
"As victims of this be-all, do-all mentality, we have fallen prey to three harmful myths: 1) SUPERMEN and superwomen are real, 2) any job worth doing is worth doing well, and 3) spending time on yourself is a selfish, superficial use of time."
Simply Sane by Debbie Bowen, page 5
Mystery Guest's Teaser:
"And there was that dream she'd had a few weeks ago--she'd been dressed in a ragged wedding gown (a la Miss Havisham of "Great " fame), dancing alone in a dark house, waiting for Mr. Darcy to come for her."

Thank you for sharing a teaser from Laura Fabiani's book! I've heard a lot about this novel and loved reading a little excerpt.
ReplyDeleteAnd a belated Happy Birthday to Shanda! (I presume it was Shanda's birthday, since she's the one who posted this?)
Thank you, Joyce :). It was a good day!
