- 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!
This week's teaser is from page 431 of The Time of Singing by Elizabeth Chadwick - so good!
She searched his face. "Is it what you want?"
I have about five pages to go before I finish this book, but I have totally enjoyed reading it, to the point where I was disappointed yesterday when I got on the train and there were people on there that I knew. I knew that I would have to chat with them for at least a little while before I could dive back into my book.
I totally need to stay away from your blog. Now I want this book, too.
ReplyDeleteMy husband knows not to bother me when I am that close to the end!
ReplyDeletePeople always want to talk when you're at a good point in a novel. Drives me crazy!
I'm looking forward to your review of this book - I haven't read any Chadwick before but I'm always on the lookout for a good historical fiction author.
ReplyDeleteI'm another one who, incredibly, hasn't read any Chadwick yet. Guess I'd better get on it....she seems to have a following that rivals or exceeds Penman's!
ReplyDeleteI love Elizabeth Chadwick's books, so I'm waiting for this one to come out in the US. I'm glad to hear that it's good!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really great book!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine
Ladytink, I really, really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteKatherine, I know that there has been a deal to rerelease some of of EC's books in the US next year, but I am not sure that this is one of them.
Michele, Jenster and Iliana, I'm afraid I have become something of an EC fan girl, so expect to hear more about her here and at Historical Tapestry. Hope you get a chance to read her soon yourself!
Amy, unfortunately I had to stop at that point because the train got to the station! I finished it last night though, so it's all good now.
I love the teaser idea of randomly opening the book and sharing something. And I agree, nothing worse than having to put it down to make meaningless chit chat!
