"Teaser Tuesdays"



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!
This week I am reading "The Lost Summer Of Louisa May Alcott" by Kelly O'Connor McNees. Since I am just starting to read it, I am sharing the first two lines of the book.

Louisa May Alcott approached the ticket window of the Boston Passenger station clutching a large case and a black parasol. She asked for the tickets on hold under her name--she'd written a week before to reserve them.

    I read a lot of Louisa May Alcott stories when I was younger, so this seems very interesting.

    This book is on my wishlist. I always love browsing books at the store and reading the first 2 lines. It either hooks me or it doesn't.

    Here's Mine

    I love this book -- It's an Amy Einhorn book and I'm a big advocate for that imprint.

    All right...I'm heading straight over to Goodreads.com to put this on my to-read list! I'm a huge Louisa May Alcott fan, since I was a little girl.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my teaser post!
