...escape into the pages of a good book

Teaser Tuesdays (January 4)

by

Teaser Tuesdays www.shouldbereading.wordpress.com

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!

This week by teasers come from a book called Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach…I wanted to share these because I think it’s a great start to the new year and I think it’s a beautiful quote…

‘…but time is the New Year’s bountiful blessing: three hundred sixty-five bright mornings and starlit evenings; fifty-two promising weeks; twelve transformative months full of beautiful possibilities; and four splendid seasons. A simply abundant year to be savored.’ (pg 27/28 eBook edition)

I love it! How about you – do you have any favorite teasers from a book you’re reading? Share your link or in the comments. Have a great day everyone!
