Teaser Tuesday







Teaser Tuesdays
is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB 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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teasers:" So you're a policeman now?" The last time Pyke had seen Tilling ,about a year earlier,he had still been in the service of Sir Robert Peel,a leader of the Tory party.In fact ,he had served Peel in one capacity or another for twenty-five years,first of all in Ireland ,when Peel had been stationed there , and then back in London.

My teasers for this week from "The Sun King Rises " byYves Jego and Denis Lepee.
"Tie him up securely ",said the man his tall frame towering over the poor private secretary.
"If need be , knock him out!And search the apartment -there may be other people here.Time is pressing." pg11/12.

This week’s musing asks…

What does your bookshelf (or, what do your bookshelves) say about you to the people who come into your home?

hosted by MizB @ Should Be Reading



I hope my shelves say voracious ,avid reader! When i'm working on projects,fanfic or doing genealogy i always find there's something i don't know and get more books.
I also have fav authors and those books are added to the collection.
I like to find new authors also.

I don't quiet have over "1200" ! lol
