Teaser Tuesday, April 7

I'm going to squeeze in an announcement here: April's Estella's Revenge is up! My three reviews (all Jane Austen related!): The Darcys and the Bingleys (I'm really quite proud of this review...), Pemberley by the Sea, and Jane Austen Ruined My Life. Go check them out, as well as all the other good stuff in this month's issue.

Now, on to Teaser Tuesday...

  • 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!

  • From The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry, by Kathleen Flinn, p. 95:
    That afternoon, I nurse my consomme and finish yet another round of disappointing puff pastry. As I do, I consider how wonderful it would be to toss some hamburger, egg whites, and tomatoes into the soup of life.
    The roundup is as Should Be Reading.

    Hmm... interesting comparison of cooking and life.

    Staci said...

    well I wonder if she finally decides to mix it up a little?

    Melissa said...

    I think, Bluestocking, that it's some kind of soupy-stocky thing. At least that's the impression I got.

    She's at Le Cordon Bleu, Staci... the question I think is not whether or not she mixes it up, but whether or not she survives the experience. :)

    Hey, I read your reviews on Estellas Revenge, and I just wanted to toss my two cents in by saying that your review of "The Darcys and the Binglys" was great! =)

    I've heard of that Flin book. It sounds pretty interesting, though I think I'd pass on the hamburger and egg white soup. =)
