Teaser Tuesday
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
5. Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week's teaser comes from The Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir, a novel on the early life of Elizabeth Tudor, before she became Elizabeth I. It's nice to be back reading my favourite genre (Tudor hist-fic).
"He took from his bosom a tiny circular box of white ivory, carved like a rose just coming into bloom, and lifted the lid to show the child what lay therein. It was the picture of a lady with delicately lidded eyes, a faint blush on her creamy cheeks and the hint of a smile on her red lips." - p 58
