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 teaser this week comes from The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe:
“The blue orb of light grew more solid, it’s electrical veins snapping in jagged lines from her fingertips and palms into the center of the ceramic planter. In that instant, the dried spider plant leaves flushed with water and health, the fresh, waxy green of life crawling down each black leaf, lifting and twisting as the color returned, and sending out fragile little shoots bursting wiht new baby leaves up and over the edge of the planter.”
What’s your teaser?
I need a blue orb of light, LOL. My plants would be so happy!
I enjoyed that book very much, it was a very quick read for me.
My teaser is from today’s release of Sacred Hearts: A Novel, by Sarah Dunant; at The Burton Review.
Happy Teaser Tuesday day!
Really great. I so want to read this one!!! I have it here…. must move it up on the list.
That is so descriptive! I'm sure my plants need to be suddenly flushed with good health…lol
Great teaser! I haven't read one yet, but that quote makes me want to.
Here's mine!
Iloved this book! Great teaser!
Pretty good book, though I was disappointed by the appearance of actual magic since I was looking for it to be a historical fiction about real women accused of being witches when all they are really just good old-style healers.
Holy cow, there are a lot of adjectives in those two sentences lol. It sounds like a book I need to read, though.
Great teaser. Makes me even more jealous that you're reading this right now. lol.
So detailed. Must be a good one! Great teaser
