Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To 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, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

"Fool!" cried the hunchback. "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known in this: 'Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.'"
He was quite cheery until the iocane powder took effect.

"She's not too pretty to be our mama," Ben said.

    These were both fun teasers. I haven't read The Princess Bride yet, but I adored the movie.

    Thanks for visiting my Teaser. :)

    I have been wanting to read 'The Princess Bride' for quite some time now, I should probably get on that! And the teaser for 'A Change of Fortune' is adorable! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you have a great week!

    I remember that line from The Princess Bride! It would be fun to read the book. A Change of Fortune sounds like a good story too. Good Teasers.
    My Tuesday post features ALL THAT GLITTERS.

    It's funny how much I enjoyed the movie, The Princess Bride, and yet never read the book. Both of these are good teasers:)
