Teaser Tuesdays (December 28)

December 28, 2010 by Darlene


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!

My teasers this week are from The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly…

‘He’d been there again, materializing out of thin air like a guardian angel, when a group of drunken first years from Guy’s had surrounded herself and Harriet outside the school’s entrance. The men had exposed themselves, demanding to have their members examined. “Unfortunately, gentlemen, my students cannot comply with your request,” he’d said, “as they are not permitted to take their microscopes out of the building.” (Page 27, eBook edition)

I’m a few chapters into this book and enjoying it. I’m looking forward to getting more acquainted with everyone and seeing what’s going to happen.

How about you? Do you have any teasers from whatever you are reading this week? Share in the comments or leave me your link. Have a great day!

    I had the first one in the series checked out of the library over the summer but I couldn't get to it. Glad you're enjoying this one and maybe someday I'll get to this series too 🙂
