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:
“I could not help feeling giddy the way I had once, so many years before, when I’d seen myself in the light of the palace torches. As old as I was, the sense of possibility and transformation was still there.”
~ p.105, “Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story” by Carolyn Turgeon
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Teaser Tuesdays post, or share your 2 ‘teasers’ in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks!

This will be my very first Teaser Tuesday ! Can’t wait to start participating more often ! I always enjoy reading everyone else’s every week.
How are you liking this so far? I’m intrigued.
How lucky I just checked and you’ve already posted! I love the Godmother teaser. My teaser is up at The Crowded Leaf.
Great teaser! Here’s mine.
Up so early, goodness! I take it this is from the Fairy Godmother’s perspective? Sounds interesting.
Here’s my teaser.
Haha… NOPE! I posted my TT last night!
I hate disappointing everyone when I don’t get up early enough!
~MizB
Beautiful prose and quite intriguing as a good teaser should be. I assume it is from the perspective of the Fairy Godmother looking back in time? My Teaser: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/02/teaser-tuesdays-schooled-in-lies.html
Usually I am like the last one to get to these things. I think I am catching on. Yay Me. Your teaser makes me a little curious…What kind of transformation?
