Meme: Teaser Tuesdays
Jun 29, 2010 Meme
I’ve been either busy or away to do research/have classes that I haven’t done this in a while…
TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
- 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 teaser for this week: “The Thursday was as fine a summer’s day as ever you saw: and my lady and Miss Rachel (not expecting Mr. Franklin till dinner-time) drove out to lunch with some friends in the neighbourhood. When they were gone I went and had a look at the bedroom which had been got ready for our guest and saw that all was straight.” – p. 34 – 35, The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
This book has been on my shelf for about a month now (Penguin Classics re-released teh covers as part of their Heroines, Hauntings and Highwaymen collection) but on my reading radar since I read Collins’s other book The Woman in White (which I greatly enjoyed). Am looking forward to really getting into the story, I heard great things about this book. Collins is an enjoyable Victorian author to read =)

I’d not heard of this author before, but that’s a beautifully written teaser. I’ll have to check her out. Here’s my teaser from The Hollow.

I really liked The Woman in White when I read it long time ago. I Really should reread it & also read The Moonstone. I actually have a copy somewhere waiting to be read!

I adore The Moonstone, although Armadale is my favorite Collins novel!

I loved “The Moonstone”! Collins is such a good writer.
Mine’s from a Thomas Hardy [here].
