Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme started by Miz B at Should be Reading and asks you to:
1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share 2 "teaser"sentences also citing the title of the book and the author and in that way people can have great recommendations if they like the "teaser.
4. Please avoid spoilers This week's teaser is taken from Lowcountry Summer by Dorothea Benton Frank.
"Civilized? You call yourself civilized? I'd call you a snob maybe, a self-centered momma's boy philanderer living with a tramp, maybe. But civilized? No, I don't think it is
civilized to offer me money to sell my children."
A little over I know, but I just couldn't cut this one to two sentences. Here's one more from the same book that made me chuckle. "But when we'd argue and I would decide it was time to say good-bye forever, he would show up at my door with five pounds of bacon. That's about all it took to sustain us for another month or so; I'm a fool for pork."
Sounds like a fun kind of a read. I chuckled at the statement about bacon.
ReplyDeleteBacon? That one was good. And the teaser...sell the children...lol..I remember I had days like that too lol.
