This week my teaser lines come from Tracy Chevalier's Remarkable Creatures. It's one of the books I picked up on my last library visit. You know – one of those trips when I was just supposed to be returning books and not even glancing at the "new books" shelf. But of course, I ended up bringing several home with me anyway.I've just opened this one, so I'm not sure who's speaking here, or who she/he is speaking about, but the quote is from page 26:
At that time turbans had not yet arrived in Lyme - though I can report now that Margaret pushed the fashion onto Lyme's women, and within a few years, turbans were a common sight up and down Broad Street. I am not sure they complement empire-line gowns as well as other hats, and I believe some laughed behind their hands at the sight, but isn't fashion meant to entertain?Well, of course it is! How else would you explain Five-Finger Shoes?

ReplyDeleteThose shoes must be a hassle to get on!

I like your sense of humor Joy, nice teaser and the shoes cracked us all up!
ReplyDeleteI did not do a post but my teaser is from Kat Richardson’s “Greywalker series book #2-Poltergeist” page 207 sentence #5 & 6..
I needed a closer look at Celia. In the confusion, I bolted toward the observation room door as the board full of Christmas lights in the seance room exploded, raining colored glass and sparks over Ana, Cara and Wayne.

An interesting teaser, Joy - enjoy the book!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the teaser made me think of Lucy and Ethel in Paris and wearing waste baskets for a hats. They thought they were the height of fashion. This sounds like a good read, Joy. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHahaha...love that put a picture of the shoes! Too funny! I've bought the five-fingered socks before, but they are so uncomfortable :) Great teaser!
