Teaser Tuesdays (48)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at 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 that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Teasers from book one:

"Honoria tried not to wince. The family's annual musicale was never a good time to make the acquaintance of a gentleman, unless he was deaf."

Just  Like Heaven by Julia Quinn

p. 40 (ARC)

Synposis from book:

Honoria Smythe-Smith is:



A) a really bad violinist


B) still miffed at being nicknamed "Bug" as a child


C) NOT in love with her older brother's best friend


D) all of the above



Marcus Holroyd is:


A) the Earl of Chatteris


B) regrettably prone to sprained ankles


C) NOT in love with his best friend's younger sister


D) all of the above



Together they:


A) eat quite a bit of chocolate cake


B) survive a deadly fever AND the world's worst musical performance


C) fall quite desperately in love



It's Julia Quinn at her best, so you KNOW the answer is...

D) all of the above




So far, just like the other books by Julia Quinn that I've read, this one is funny. I haven't read the Bridgerton series yet but this is the first in a spin-off series and I think it can be read as a stand alone. I will be picking up The Viscount Who Loved Me and the other Bridgerton books when I can.

Teasers from book two:

"'We don't want peace,' snarled Bearded Leader. 'We want the blonde.' And he pointed in my direction with his left hand, while his right hand pulled a knife."

Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

p. 119

I just finished this book. I liked it more than Dead in the Family but it still has flaws and felt at times like just a set up for the final two books. I plan to keep reading the series just to see how it ends.
