Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. 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 Teaser:
In short order, the assembled ladies worked through the ordinary pleasantries, establishing that it was uncommonly hot for this time of year, that they were thankful that they had coldmongers on staff who could use glamour to make the air cooler, and then moving on to admiration of the newly arrived chest of tea. Nothing was so cooling, was the general consensus, as a cup of strong tea on a hot day.
– Of Noble Family by Mary Robinette Kowal
Love the teaser and love the cover! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Sounds like an interesting book! I love how the narrator summarizes the usual meaningless pleasantries that go on during a social event.
I absolutely love historical romance books and this looks and sounds right up my alley and really fantastic. Thank you for stopping by my blog.
What a beautiful cover! This sounds like a good one. I wish I had a coldmonger to use glamour to help make it cooler where I live . . .
I’ve had this one in my TBR pile for a couple of months… gotta get caught up soon!
Here’s my teaser from Robin Hobb’s FOOL’S QUEST:

Lovely excerpt and gorgeous cover! Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
If there are those that can use glamour to cool the air, what else might there be? Sounds interesting.
Lovely cover.
How lovely, as is the cover. And tea is refreshing. My favorite beverage.
