This week my teaser lines come from Alice I Have Been, Melanie Benjamin's novel based on the relationship between Lewis Carroll and his child-muse, Alice Liddell. This snippet comes from the beginning of Chapter 3 (p.49), in one of the (imaginary, I'm assuming) letters from Carroll to Alice:
The Perfect Day knocked on my window this morning....I don't know about you, but I am rather tired of being myself. Aren't you? Would you like to be someone else, just for today?Would you?
I'm about halfway through this one, and will have more to say about it in a day or two. It's giving me a lot to think about.

Interesting thought here. Hmm, if I could be someone else for just a day, I would choose to be Betty White when she's visiting the L.A. zoo. Just finished reading her book, "Betty & Friends" and enjoyed it so much! She's had many close encounters with zoo animals!

I like that teaser. Definitely an interesting thought. I think it would be fun or interesting to be another person - but just for a day.
