My husband and I decided to skip town last week so I’m back this week with a Teaser. Hope you had a wonderful 4th, if you’re in the U.S. that is. Now, on with the teasing.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The idea is to give everyone a look inside the book you’re reading.
Play along: Grab your current read; Open to a random page; Share two teaser sentences from that page; Share the title and author so that other participants know what you’re reading.
This week, I’m reading The Dead Travel Fast by Deanna Raybourn. I’m half way but I found the first sentence amusing which is what I’m sharing this morning.
“’I am afraid we must settle the problem of what to do with Theodora,’ my brother-in-law said with a weary sigh. He looked past me to where my sister sat stitching placidly on a tiny gown.” (1)
What are you teasing us with this week?
Wonder what’s up with Theodora? I’ve been wanting to read this author! Here’s my teaser from Lover Eternal.
Without ruining anything, I can tell you that Theodora is a spinster in 1858. At the ripe old age of 23. 🙂
But Theodora is making little baby gowns! She’s useful, mean brother! My teaser involves less “spinsters”.
Theodora has her own way of dealing with issues, doesn’t she? She sounds familiar!
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Poor Theodora! But I bet she’s got some adventures ahead, right? Great teaser! Hope you’re enjoying the book.

That is a funny teaser. Raybourn has been on my TBR for so long, but I never get around to reading her. I’ll be looking for your review. My teaser is at The Crowded Leaf.
Happy Tuesday! I just love this meme! I get to see so many great books. Have a great week, happy reading. Stop by at The Wormhole to see mine!
I can’t help but feel that somehow, the solution to Theodora might be poison? I suppose it’s just me being a tish bit macabre. 😉 My teaser’s

Great teaser!
