Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Miz B 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 and author too, so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.
My teasers:
She said, “You play your cards quite close, don’t you, Thomas.”
He said, “I have no cards at all.”
Elizabeth George, This Body of Death
This is a neat idea! I think I will have to start participating on my blog as well.

“Richard II was only a boy at his accession: one day, however,suspecting that he was now twenty-one, he asked his uncle and, on learning that he was, mounted the throne himself and tried first being a Good King and then being a Bad King, without enjoying either very much.”
(One very long sentence from 1066 And All That, WC Sellar and RJ Yeatman)

And a very good sentence it is. I love history with attitude. Gotta get this one.
