Teaser Tuesday: "Nights at the Circus"

Welcome to one of my favourite memes - Teaser Tuesday!

TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:

- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page.
- 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!

Send me a comment so I can check out your teaser. Mine is from "Nights at the Circus" by Angela Carter:

"He smiled to himself at the paradox: in a secular age, an authentic miracle must purpot to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world."

Teaser Wednesday - suprise!

As a follow-up on Teaser Tuesday yesterday, I felt like doing another teaser as I am reading more than one book at the moment (actually I always am). So here comes a teaser from "All Souls" by Javier Marias:

"The more one knows and tells about other people, the greater one's dispensation not to reveal anutomg about oneself. Consequently the whole of Oxford is fully and continuously engaged in concealing and suppressing itself whilst at the same time trying to winkle out as much information as possible about other people..."

So here is my teaser - today it is from "The Bad Girl" by Mario Vargas Llosa:

"Are you still in love with me?" Was her opening remark, to break the ice.
"The worst thing is that I think I am," I admitted, feeling my cheeks flush. "And if I weren't I would fall in love with you all over again today. You've turned into a very beautiful woman, and an extremely elegant one. I see you, and don't believe what I see, bad girl."

Which books did you choose teasers from?

Teaser Tuesday: "The Flight from the Enchanter"

So it's been a while since I have done a Teaser Tuesday but today, I will do one.

So here we go, today's teaser is from "The Flight from the Enchanter" by Iris Murdoch.

"Rosa had been very fond of Marcia Cockeyne when they had been at school together in Switzerland, and leter when they shared a flat in London, and she did her best to be fond of Annette, not without some success. This was the easier, since Anette had never yet occupied very much of Rosa's attention."

Another Tuesday, another teaser

Another Tuesday, another teaser. This time it is from "The Diary of a Provinvial Lady" by E.M. Delafield:

"Read admirable, but profoundly discouraging article in Tide and Time relating to Bernard Shaw's women but applying to most of us. Realise - not for the first time - that intelligent women can perhaps best perform their duty towards their own sex by telling them the truth about themselves."

I love the the provincial lady, she is a wonderful companion on my morning bus trip into work!

Here is my first TUESDAY TEASER from "Anne of Windy Willows" by L.M. Montgomery:

“I had a really lovely prowl about the graveyard the other night. I’m sure Rebecca Dew thinks my taste in walks frightfully morbid.”
