Teaser Tuesdays: Wicked Autumn

This week my teaser lines come from Wicked Autumn by G.M. Malliet. From page 192:
A cat jumped onto the back of Miss Pitchford's overstuffed chair, then peered over her mistress's shoulder to appraise the visitor with that look of distant yet apoplectic contempt only cats manage to achieve. Max found himself engaged in a brief staring contest, which of course he could never win, the cat's baleful glitter never faltering, its hard heart never softening.


Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by mizB at Should Be Reading. If you'd like to read more teasers, or take part yourself, just head on over to her blog.

And please feel free to leave me a link to your Teaser Tuesday post in your comment here.

    Cats are very patient. No surprise it won the staring contest.

    ...and even when they run from the room, they manage to look haughty about it. They're not so much as running away from you as leaving this undesirable place and its unworthy company.

    Oh, I've been on the receiving end of a cat's "distant yet apoplectic contempt" and felt like shuddering afterwards...LOL

    This one sounds very intriguing. And I love that cover!

    I intend to read this book -- went lookng for it at the bookstore around the corner but it wasn't there so I will probably buy it for the Nook. It looks good.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
