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:
“Ivan . . . left with a lady.”
“What, again? Here? Now? Does the boy have no sense of time or place? This isn’t Emperor Gregor’s Birthday Party, dammit.”
- Cetaganda by Lois McMaster Bujold
I’m totally playing along tomorrow. How are you liking your book so far?
Yeah. It’s a reread.
This is really an intriguing teaser. I can’t help but wonder why it would be okay to leave with a lady if it WAS Emperor Gregor’s birthday party … but not okay on this occasion. Good teaser.
Mine is here: Untying the Knot
Because those parties were probably much more causal and he was in no danger of causing an international incident.
Interesting teaser! My teaser comes from a mystery this week.
Thanks Beth!
I guess they wanted Ivan to stick around. Clearly the lady was where his attention was focused.
Yeah, she dragged him off and kidnapped him.
I haven’t seen this book before. I like the cover, it is interesting. Enjoyed the teaser too!

Oh he is he is. He gets his just desserts this November!
I love her books and she has a new one comeing out soon. Here is my teaser:
TT
I know! That’s why I am rereading her books.
I’ve never heard of this book or its author, but the teaser alone makes me want to read it. Also, the fact that the critic quoted on the cover uses the word “frabjous.”
Here’s my teaser for the week. Happy reading!
Yeah, it is really good.
