Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. It says anyone can play along, so I am going to try it! 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!
The Frenchman's death troubled me greatly, but not in the manner I suspected. I spent little time worrying over whether Girolamo would strike again, unexpectedly, by poisoning Caterina now that he no longer suspected her of infidelity.
~The Scarlet Contessa by Jeanne Kalogridis, page 235
I had kept my hand under the pillow, and as the figure moved, I curled my fingers around the grip of the tiny mother-of-pearl pistol Aunt Dove had given me in Italy. With one smooth gesture, I leaped up to a sitting position, opening the lantern and levelling the pistol at Mr. Rowan.
~City of Jasmine by Deanna Raybourn, page 79
Nice choices :)

Two great Teasers.
ReplyDeleteContessa: poison, Frenchmen, infidelity -- sounds intriguing.
Jasmine: It's handy to have a little pistol under your pillow!
My Teaser is from MILLSTONE.
