Teaser Tuesday


HOST


* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall open to a random page.
* Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
* You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from…that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given.
* Please avoid spoilers!


My Teaser:

The biography and poetry book go into the thrift store stack, then I briefly consider the Carnegie. I read How to Win Friends in college, but perhaps I ought to brush up on the basic principles.

    I'm not much of one for "self help" books, but I can get into a character who is.
